NVMe I/O problems may be seen on IOMMU enabled platforms. Adapter I/Os failing with transfer length mismatches. The sg list processing routine for NVMe I/O is accessing the sg entry directly for the length and address fields. On some IOMMU platforms, contigous mappings are compressed to the first sg entry with the sum of the lengths set to the sg entry dma_length field. The length fields are left for later use by the unmap call. As such, the driver didn't see the actual dma_length value, just the first entries length value. Drivers are to use the sg_dma_length() and sg_dma_address() macros to reference the sg entry. The macros select the proper length field (dma_length or length) to reference. Fix the offending code to use the sg_dma_xxx macros.

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.
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.
