[PATCH] scsi: fix shift out-of-bounds in sg_build_indirect The num variable is set to 0. The variable num gets its value from scatter_elem_sz. However the minimum value of scatter_elem_sz is PAGE_SHIFT. So setting num to PAGE_SIZE when num < PAGE_SIZE.

Please add a one line summary above your commit log to avoid the issue 
Vivek pointed out. One line summary will become the subject line for 
your patch email.

Have you seen any issues caused by not setting num to PAGE_SIZE when num 
< PAGE_SIZE?

 From what I can see, num is used to calculate the page order for 
allocation which will be 0 whether num=PAGE_SIZE or < PAGE_SIZE. After 
that num gets assigned a new value any way before its next use.

Hey Kshitij,

the formatting didn't quite work out the way you intended. For the next
version, please try to send it to Shuah and I first.
