When constructing scatterlists, the sg driver rounds up the scatterlist element sizes to be a multiple of 512. This can result in sum(scatterlist lengths) > bufflen. In this case, scsi_req_map_sg() incorrectly sets bio->bi_size to sum(scatterlist lengths) rather than to bufflen. When the command completes, req_bio_endio() detects that bio->bi_size != 0, and so it doesn't call bio_endio(). This causes the command to be resubmitted, resulting in BUG_ON or the command never completing. This patch makes scsi_req_map_sg() set bio->bi_size to bufflen rather than to sum(scatterlist lengths), which fixes the problem.
