Just to confirm that yes, it's that particular commit 1d10eb2f156f. I reverted it and things work again. So it's not the miscalculation of "used" , but it's certainly *something* in that commit.
How about this?
- npages = (off + len + PAGE_SIZE - 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
+ npages = PAGE_ALIGN(off + n);
The two are not even *remotely* the same thing.
It's in af_alg_make_sg(), and it would seem to cause sg_init_table()
and the loop that does sg_set_page() do insane things. Possibly
including random memory scribbles etc. Which could explain anything.
Anyway, I'm now working on the other pulls I have, so I'll leave this
for now, but I think that might be it.
