Subject[PATCH 3.11 090/137] rapidio/tsi721_dma: fix failure to obtain transaction descriptor
Date
3.11.10.15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexandre Bounine <alexandre.bounine@idt.com>

commit 0193ed8225e1a79ed64632106ec3cc81798cb13c upstream.

This is a bug fix for the situation when function tsi721_desc_get() fails
to obtain a free transaction descriptor.

The bug usually results in a memory access crash dump when data transfer
scatter-gather list has more entries than size of hardware buffer
descriptors ring. This fix ensures that error is properly returned to a
caller instead of an invalid entry.

This patch is applicable to kernel versions starting from v3.5.
