   Ok,will describe it more. The reason it oops is sg_set_bug expects that
the
   buf parameter passed in should be a from the lowmem and a valid
pageframe.
  This is not true for pages from dma_alloc_coherent which can be carveouts,
hence
  the check fails. Allocating buffers using kzalloc fixes the issue.
