If tcmu_handle_completions() has to process a padding shorter than sizeof(struct tcmu_cmd_entry), the current call to tcmu_flush_dcache_range() with sizeof(struct tcmu_cmd_entry) as length param is wrong and causes crashes on e.g. ARM, because tcmu_flush_dcache_range() in this case calls flush_dcache_page(vmalloc_to_page(start)); with start being an invalid address above the end of the vmalloc'ed area. The fix is to use the minimum of remaining ring space and sizeof(struct tcmu_cmd_entry) as the length param. The patch was tested on kernel 4.19.118.

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.
