Why is nents being touched here?
Shouldn't it just be
sgt_append->sgt.orig_nents += added_nents; sgt_append->prv = s;?
In general yes, but all the sg_alloc_* functions update both orig_nents and nents (to same value). May be drivers that pass nents instead of orig_nents to dma_map_sg* (like umem did before this patch set). So I prefer to set it here as well, also not to break sg_alloc_table_from_pages_segment which use the same path. This kind of change could be done very carefully next cycle for all sg_alloc_*.
Let me know I can fix it
