[PATCH v2 05/12] powerpc/pseries/ras: FWNMI_VALID off by one

2020-03-25 Thread Nicholas Piggin
This was discovered developing qemu fwnmi sreset support. This off-by-one bug means the last 16 bytes of the rtas area can not be used for a 16 byte save area. It's not a serious bug, and QEMU implementation has to retain a workaround for old kernels, but it's good to tighten it. Signed-off-by: N
