[ Upstream commit 0b0882672640ced4deeebf84da0b88b6389619c4 ] The function to decide if one zcrypt queue is better than another one compared two pointers instead of comparing the values where the pointers refer to. So within the same zcrypt card when load of each queue was equal just one queue was used. This effect only appears on relatively lite load, typically with one thread applications. This patch fixes the wrong comparison and now the counters show that requests are balanced equally over all available queues within the cards. There is no performance improvement coming with this fix. As long as the queue depth for an APQN queue is not touched, processing is not faster when requests are spread over queues within the same card hardware. So this fix only beautifies the lszcrypt counter printouts.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
