2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Tejun Heo commit ac8672ea922bde59acf50eaa1eaa1640a6395fd2 upstream. ata_tf_read_block() has off-by-one error when converting CHS address to LBA. The bug isn't very visible because ata_tf_read_block() is used only when generating sense data for a failed RW command and CHS addressing isn't used too often these days. This problem was spotted by Atsushi Nemoto.
