Jens, again, please correct me if I'm wrong, but when sg points at the
entry right before a chain entry this implementation of sg_next will
return a pointer to the chain entry here, which I believe it must not.

here's how I think sg_next should be implemented:

  */
 static inline struct scatterlist *sg_next(struct scatterlist *sg)
 {
+#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_SG
+	BUG_ON(sg->sg_magic != SG_MAGIC);
+#endif
+	if (sg_is_last(sg))
+		return NULL;
+
 	sg++;
 
 	if (unlikely(sg_is_chain(sg)))
 		sg = sg_chain_ptr(sg);
 
 	return sg;
 }
