The @nents value that was passed to ib_dma_map_sg() has to be passed
to the matching ib_dma_unmap_sg() call. If ib_dma_map_sg() choses to
concatenate sg entries, it will return a different nents value than
it was passed.
The bug was exposed by recent changes to the AMD IOMMU driver, which
enabled sg entry concatenation.
Looking all the way back to commit 4143f34e01e9 ("xprtrdma: Port to
new memory registration API") and reviewing other kernel ULPs, it's
not clear that the frwr_map() logic was ever correct for this case.

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.
