Tvrtko Ursulin c125906b83 lib/scatterlist: Avoid potential scatterlist entry overflow
Since the scatterlist length field is an unsigned int, make
sure that sg_alloc_table_from_pages does not overflow it while
coalescing pages to a single entry.

v2: Drop reference to future use. Use UINT_MAX.
v3: max_segment must be page aligned.
v4: Do not rely on compiler to optimise out the rounddown.
    (Joonas Lahtinen)
v5: Simplified loops and use post-increments rather than
    pre-increments. Use PAGE_MASK and fix comment typo.
    (Andy Shevchenko)
v6: Commit spelling fix.

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.
