T Pratham 9ce88838fc lib: scatterlist: fix sg_split_phys to preserve original scatterlist offsets 
commit 8b46fdaea8 upstream.

The split_sg_phys function was incorrectly setting the offsets of all
scatterlist entries (except the first) to 0.  Only the first scatterlist
entry's offset and length needs to be modified to account for the skip.
Setting the rest entries' offsets to 0 could lead to incorrect data
access.

I am using this function in a crypto driver that I'm currently developing
(not yet sent to mailing list).  During testing, it was observed that the
output scatterlists (except the first one) contained incorrect garbage
data.

I narrowed this issue down to the call of sg_split().  Upon debugging
inside this function, I found that this resetting of offset is the cause
of the problem, causing the subsequent scatterlists to point to incorrect
memory locations in a page.  By removing this code, I am obtaining
expected data in all the split output scatterlists.  Thus, this was indeed
causing observable runtime effects!

This patch removes the offending code, ensuring that the page offsets in
the input scatterlist are preserved in the output scatterlist.

README 

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.
