Thanks for the quick feedback Roberto!

You're right Eric. However, we could also do it by simply not
checking nbytes since we already set nents according to nbytes
at the top of the function.
---8<---
The helper mpi_read_raw_from_sgl sets the number of entries in
the SG list according to nbytes. However, if the last entry
in the SG list contains more data than nbytes, then it may overrun
the buffer because it only allocates enough memory for nbytes.
