1. page_to_pfn() * PAGE_SIZE is spelled page_to_phys()

2. physical addresses have type phys_addr_t. Oh, wait, paddr isn't a
physical address, it's a pfn because you divide by PAGE_SIZE at the end.
But you will get truncation on 32-bit, because page_to_pfn() has type
unsigned long. Anyway, this shouldn't be called paddr. Maybe last_pfn
or something?

+ sgt_append->prv->offset + sgt_append->prv->length) /

In this area of the patch I just reverted to what we had in 6.1 [1] where we
were good.

I can send V1 and replace the 'paddr' to be called 'last_pfn' if it's really
needed.
Please change it as Matthew describes so it is clearer

Jason

OK

Once cleaning the code and renaming to 'last_pfn', could also see that we had to use below '- 1' instead of '- PAGE_SIZE'.

The expected diff compared to V0 can be seen below.

Will repeat some testing and send V1 once be ready.
