    How about the patch below ? In that version of the ib_sg_to_pages() fix
    these concerns have been addressed and additionally to more bugs have been fixed.
    
    ------------
    
    [PATCH] IB core: Fix ib_sg_to_pages()
    
    Fix the code for detecting gaps. A gap occurs not only if the
    second or later scatterlist element is not aligned but also if
    any scatterlist element other than the last does not end at a
    page boundary.
    
    In the code for coalescing contiguous elements, ensure that
    mr->length is correct and that last_page_addr is up-to-date.
    
    Ensure that this function returns a negative
    error code instead of zero if the first set_page() call fails.
    
    Fixes: commit 4c67e2bf ("IB/core: Introduce new fast registration API")
