The patch simplifies mlx5_ib_cont_pages and fixes the following
issues in the original implementation:
First issues is related to alignment of the PFNs. After the check
base + p != PFN, the alignment of the PFN wasn't checked. So the PFN
sequence 0, 1, 1, 2 would result in a page_shift of 13 even though
the 3rd PFN is not 8KB aligned.
This wasn't actually a bug because it was supported by all the
existing mlx5 compatible device, but we don't want to require
this support in all future devices.
Another issue is because the inner loop didn't advance PFN so
the test "if (base + p != pfn)" always failed for SGE with
len > (1<<page_shift).

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.
