Description

The buffer size field in the GET LOGPAGE command is 0-based, so the driver needs to substract 1 from the calculated buffer size before passing this to the hardware.

This was found on a Samsung SSD, which detected the wrong buffer size and returned an error, which in turn was correctly identified as a programming error in nvme and led to a panic.
