When bucket_find_contains() tries to find the original entry for a partial sync, it manages to constrain its search in a way that is both too restrictive and not restrictive enough. A driver which only uses single mappings rather than scatterlists might not set max_seg_size, but could still technically perform a partial sync at an offset of more than 64KB into a sufficiently large mapping, so we could stop searching too early before reaching a legitimate entry. Conversely, if no valid entry is present and max_range is large enough, we can pointlessly search buckets that we've already searched, or that represent an impossible wrapping around the bottom of the address space. At worst, the (legitimate) case of max_seg_size == UINT_MAX can make the loop infinite. Replace the fragile and frankly hard-to-follow "range" logic with a simple counted loop for the number of possible hash buckets below the given address.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
