Ferdinand Blomqvist 8ba93c5944 rslib: Fix decoding of shortened codes
[ Upstream commit 2034a42d17 ]

The decoding of shortenend codes is broken. It only works as expected if
there are no erasures.

When decoding with erasures, Lambda (the error and erasure locator
polynomial) is initialized from the given erasure positions. The pad
parameter is not accounted for by the initialisation code, and hence
Lambda is initialized from incorrect erasure positions.

The fix is to adjust the erasure positions by the supplied pad.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
