[PATCH #upstream-fixes] libata: fix off-by-one error in ata_tf_read_block()

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Sun Aug 16 2009 - 08:21:52 EST


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.

In that case, sure. Thanks a lot for the nice spotting. :-)
