Subject: [PATCH 3.19 078/123] mm: cma: fix CMA aligned offset calculation

3.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Danesh Petigara <dpetigara@...adcom.com>

commit 850fc430f47aad52092deaaeb32b99f97f0e6aca upstream.

The CMA aligned offset calculation is incorrect for non-zero order_per_bit
values.

For example, if cma->order_per_bit=1, cma->base_pfn= 0x2f800000 and
align_order=12, the function returns a value of 0x17c00 instead of 0x400.

This patch fixes the CMA aligned offset calculation.

The previous calculation was wrong and would return too-large values for
the offset, so that when cma_alloc looks for free pages in the bitmap with
the requested alignment > order_per_bit, it starts too far into the bitmap
and so CMA allocations will fail despite there actually being plenty of
free pages remaining.  It will also probably have the wrong alignment.
With this change, we will get the correct offset into the bitmap.

One affected user is powerpc KVM, which has kvm_cma->order_per_bit set to
KVM_CMA_CHUNK_ORDER - PAGE_SHIFT, or 18 - 12 = 6.
