[PATCH v2 1/5] MPI: fix off by one in mpi_read_raw_from_sgl

From: Stephan Mueller
Date: Sun Oct 18 2015 - 18:05:49 EST


The patch fixes the analysis of the input data which contains an off
by one.

The issue is visible when the SGL contains one byte per SG entry.
The code for checking for zero bytes does not operate on the data byte.
