Hmmm, I think the quick debug patch was slightly off here, as we can
expect a NULL sg_next() in the normal case.  Could you try moving the
following debug check that your logs are showing above from the bottom
of the loop:

                        cmd_sg = sg_next(cmd_sg);
+                       if (!cmd_sg || !cmd_sg->length) {
+                               printk("Bogus SGL at %p\n", cmd_sg);
+                               return -EINVAL;
+                       }

to the top of the loop right before the printk() like so:

                /* Build new sgl, only up to task_size */
                for_each_sg(task->task_sg, sg, task->task_sg_nents, count) {
+			if (!cmd_sg || !cmd_sg->length) {
+				printk("Bogus SGL at %p\n", cmd_sg);
+				return -EINVAL;
+			}
+                       printk("sg[%d] Remaining task_size: %d cmd_sg: %p cmd_sg->length: %d\n",
+                               count, task_size, cmd_sg, cmd_sg->length);
+

and try retesting with this..?

Also, having that wireshark capture would be extremely helpful.  ;)

Thanks,
