Subject: [PATCH] tcp: fix tcp_md5_hash_skb_data()
commit 54d27fcb338bd9c42d1dfc5a39e18f6f9d373c2e upstream.
TCP md5 communications fail [1] for some devices, because sg/crypto code
assume page offsets are below PAGE_SIZE.
This was discovered using mlx4 driver [2], but I suspect loopback
might trigger the same bug now we use order-3 pages in tcp_sendmsg()
[1] Failure is giving following messages.
huh, entered softirq 3 NET_RX ffffffff806ad230 preempt_count 00000100,
exited with 00000101?
[2] mlx4 driver uses order-2 pages to allocate RX frags
