Johannes Berg c4a786b326 iwlwifi: pcie: work around DMA hardware bug
There's a hardware bug in the flow handler (DMA engine), if the
address + len of some TB wraps around a 2^32 boundary, the carry
bit is then carried over into the next TB.

Work around this by copying the data to a new page when we find
this situation, and then copy it in a way that we cannot hit the
very end of the page.

To be able to free the new page again later we need to chain it
to the TSO page, use the last pointer there to make sure we can
never use the page fully for DMA, and thus cannot cause the same
overflow situation on this page.

This leaves a few potential places (where we didn't observe the
problem) unaddressed:
 * The second TB could reach or cross the end of a page (and thus
   2^32) due to the way we allocate the dev_cmd for the header
 * For host commands, a similar thing could happen since they're
   just kmalloc().
We'll address these in further commits.

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.
