Thanks, will update the commit message considering this.

Payload calculation function was modified to handle buffer overlapping 
calculation in this commit:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/misc/fastrpc.c?h=v5.15-rc2&id=25e8dfb83cda0a123bb1e091d6c3599cde050d76

Here during buffer overlap calculation, the buffer list is getting 
sorted. This needs to be considered during the calculation of payload 
size also by using unsorted buffer index "raix".
