Subject: s390/qeth: fix underestimated count of buffer elements

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.
