Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/hfi1: Fix sdma.h tx->num_descs off-by-one error
Unfortunately the commit fd8958efe877 introduced another error
causing the descs array to overflow. This reults in further crashes
easily reproducible by sendmsg system call.
[ 1080.836473] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x400300015528b00a: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI

If an SDMA send consists of exactly 6 descriptors and requires dword padding (in the 7th descriptor), the sdma_txreq descriptor array is not properly expanded and the packet will overflow into the container structure. This results in a panic when the send completion runs. The exact panic varies depending on what elements of the container structure get corrupted. The fix is to use the correct expression in _pad_sdma_tx_descs() to test the need to expand the descriptor array.
With this patch the crashes are no longer reproducible and the machine is stable.
