spi_map_buf() processes mapping of vmalloc-ed buffers in a special way,
making mapping of every page separately. However, if the buffer is not
aligned to page boundary (e.g. sub-array in a vmalloc-ed array), it
fills the scatter table with page-size unaligned pieces, that cross
page boundaries. This is incorrect and can, for example, cause memory
corruption and various crashes when working with ubifs on spi-nor chips.

Fix this by using proper scatter table size and intra-page buffer lengths,
so that the whole buffer splits into separate scatter table entries on
page boundaries.

The caller is supposed to be providing us with aligned memory here.
However it could be helpful to do this so...

No, please write this legibly without the ternery operator.

Well, actually the rest of spi code does not rely on having a transfer
buffer
page-aligned. And I don't see any reason to make such an assumption here.
Especially that it is not fulfilled, at least by ubifs code.
Anyway, this fix seems to be useful indeed.

OK, I'll try to make this piece of code more distinct.
I'm submitting v2 of the patch.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Andrew

The requirement comes more from the underlying DMA code than from SPI
itself, SPI mostly doesn't care.

OK, then it's all the more useful to have SPI code tolerant to arbitrary
input data
(like un-aligned addresses), so that it won't introduce its own unnecessary
restrictions.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Andrew
