3.16.7-ckt3 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8d609725d4357f499e2103e46011308b32f53513 upstream.
These BUGs can be erroneously triggered by frags which refer to
tail pages within a compound page. The data in these pages may
overrun the hardware page while still being contained within the
compound page, but since compound_order() evaluates to 0 for tail
pages the assertion fails. The code already iterates through
subsequent pages correctly in this scenario, so the BUGs are
unnecessary and can be removed.
Fixes: f36c374782e4 ("xen/netfront: handle compound page fragments on transmit")
