Subject: IB/ipath: ipath_skip_sge() can break if num_sge > 1
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=16c59419a09f0140a07a1828d6a45656265e07c7;p=linux-beck.git

IB/ipath: ipath_skip_sge() can break if num_sge > 1

ipath_skip_sge() doesn't exactly duplicate the side effects of
ipath_copy_sge() if num_sge > 1 since it doesn't decrement ss->num_sge.
This could result in the sg_list being accessed out of bounds.
Since ipath_skip_sge() is almost always called with num_sge == 1,
the original "optimization" is almost never used.
