[ Upstream commit ab9bb6318b0967671e0c9b6537c1537d51ca4f45 ]
Commit dfe2a77fd243 ("kfifo: fix kfifo_alloc() and kfifo_init()") made
the kfifo code round the number of elements up. That was good for
__kfifo_alloc(), but it's actually wrong for __kfifo_init().
The difference? __kfifo_alloc() will allocate the rounded-up number of
elements, but __kfifo_init() uses an allocation done by the caller. We
can't just say "use more elements than the caller allocated", and have
to round down.
The good news? All the normal cases will be using power-of-two arrays
anyway, and most users of kfifo's don't use kfifo_init() at all, but one
of the helper macros to declare a KFIFO that enforce the proper
power-of-two behavior. But it looks like at least ibmvscsis might be
affected.
The bad news? Will Deacon refers to an old thread and points points out
that the memory ordering in kfifo's is questionable. See

Use BUG_ON(x) rather than if(x) BUG();
The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows:
// <smpl>
@@ identifier x; @@
-if (!x) BUG();
+BUG_ON(!x);
// </smpl>

'copied' and 'len' are in bytes, while 'ret' is in elements, so we need to
multiply 'ret' with the size of one element to get the correct result.

Fix kfifo_alloc() and kfifo_init() to alloc at least the requested number
of elements. Since the kfifo operates on power of 2 the request size will
be rounded up to the next power of two.
