> [wangtao] The term 'convert' is misleading in this context. The appropriate phrasing should be: Construct bio_vec from sg_table.

Well it doesn't matter what you call it. Touching the page inside an sg table of a DMA-buf is illegal, we even have code to actively prevent that.

Once more: This approach was already rejected multiple times! Please use udmabuf instead!

The hack you came up here is simply not necessary.
