Thanks, we will run the test with your patch, will update the test results in
24 Hours.
Current status is:
We can reproduce the issue in 3000 cycles stress S/R test, we can't reproduce
the kernel panic with our patch in 6000 cycles.

Thanks for the patch.
Although the analysis is correct, the fix doesn't look ideal. It's also
possible that the returned size may over sgbuf->tblsize if we are more unlucky.
A change like below should work instead. Could you give it a try?
