[ Upstream commit1489bbd10e] The NSP default buffer is a piece of NFP memory where additional command data can be placed. Its format has been copied from host buffer, but the PCIe selection bits do not make sense in this case. If those get masked out from a NFP address - writes to random place in the chip memory may be issued and crash the device. Even in the general NSP buffer case, it doesn't make sense to have the PCIe selection bits there anymore. These are unused at the moment, and when it becomes necessary, the PCIe selection bits should rather be moved to another register to utilise more bits for the buffer address. This has never been an issue because the buffer used to be allocated in memory with less-than-38-bit-long address but that is about to change.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
