== SRU Justification ==    
af_iucv socket programs with HiperSockets as transport make use of the qdio completion queue.
Running such an af_iucv socket program may result in a crash which can be seen 
in bug comment #1.  This issue is fixed by mainline commit 903e48531e8b.

Commit 903e48531e8b is in mailine as of 4.8-rc8, so it is only needed in Xenial.

== Fix ==
903e48531e8b ("qeth: check not more than 16 SBALEs on the completion queue")

== Regression Potential ==
Low. Limited to s390.

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
