[PATCH] ppc highmem fix
I've noticed that the calculations for seg_size and nr_segs in __dma_sync_page_highmem() (arch/ppc/kernel/dma-mapping.c) are wrong. The incorrect calculations can result in either an oops or a panic when running fsck depending on the size of the partition. The problem with the seg_size calculation is that it can result in a negative number if size is offset > size. The problem with the nr_segs caculation is returns the wrong number of segments, e.g. it returns 1 when size is 200 and offset is 4095, when it should return 2 or more.
