[ Upstream commit a950a5921db450c74212327f69950ff03419483a ]
SMC_STAT_PAYLOAD_SUB(_smc_stats, _tech, key, _len, _rc) will calculate
wrong bucket positions for payloads of exactly 4096 bytes and
(1 << (m + 12)) bytes, with m == SMC_BUF_MAX - 1.
Intended bucket distribution:
Assume l == size of payload, m == SMC_BUF_MAX - 1.
Bucket 0 : 0 < l <= 2^13
Bucket n, 1 <= n <= m-1 : 2^(n+12) < l <= 2^(n+13)
Bucket m : l > 2^(m+12)
Current solution:
_pos = fls64((l) >> 13)
[...]
_pos = (_pos < m) ? ((l == 1 << (_pos + 12)) ? _pos - 1 : _pos) : m
For l == 4096, _pos == -1, but should be _pos == 0.
For l == (1 << (m + 12)), _pos == m, but should be _pos == m - 1.
In order to avoid special treatment of these corner cases, the
calculation is adjusted. The new solution first subtracts the length by
one, and then calculates the correct bucket by shifting accordingly,
i.e. _pos = fls64((l - 1) >> 13), l > 0.
This not only fixes the issues named above, but also makes the whole
bucket assignment easier to follow.
Same is done for SMC_STAT_RMB_SIZE_SUB(_smc_stats, _tech, k, _len),
where the calculation of the bucket position is similar to the one
named above.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
