Adding a few more lines of context:

sg = _sg;
if (unlikely(nsg > 4)) {
sg = kmalloc(sizeof(*sg) * nsg, GFP_NOIO);
if (!sg)
goto nomem;
}

You're leaking sg when nsg > 4, you'll need to add this:

if (sg != _sg)
kfree(sg);



BTW, when you resubmit, please Cc: the maintainers of the files you're
changing for each patch, so that they can review this stuff. And send
patch 1 to all of them, otherwise they might be surprised that we even
need <0 checking after calls to skb_to_sgvec.

You might also want to add a cover letter.
