From: Ursula Braun ubraun@linux.vnet.ibm.com

[ Upstream commit 89271c65edd599207dd982007900506283c90ae3 ]

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.
