Subject: [PATCH] scsi: properly count the number of pages in scsi_req_map_sg()
Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2006 10:38:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060321083830.GA2364@localdomain> (raw)

Improper calculation of the number of pages causes bio_alloc() to
be called with nr_iovecs=0, and slab corruption later.

For example, a simple scatterlist that fails: {(3644,452), (0, 60)},
(offset, size). bufflen=512 => nr_pages=1 => breakage. The proper
page count for this example is 2.
