Ursula Braun 89271c65ed s390/qeth: fix underestimated count of buffer elements
For a memory range/skb where the last byte falls onto a page boundary
(ie. 'end' is of the form xxx...xxx001), the PFN_UP() part of the
calculation currently doesn't round up to the next PFN due to an
off-by-one error.
Thus qeth believes that the skb occupies one page less than it
actually does, and may select a IO buffer that doesn't have enough spare
buffer elements to fit all of the skb's data.
HW detects this as a malformed buffer descriptor, and raises an
exception which then triggers device recovery.

Fixes: 2863c61334 ("qeth: refactor calculation of SBALE count")

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
