The bug is caused by overrunning the sglist and incorrectly testing sg_dma_len(sglist) before nents. Normally this doesn't cause a crash, but in this case sglist crossed a page boundary. This occurs in the following code:

while (sg_dma_len(sglist) && nents--) {

The fix is simply to test nents first and move the decrement of nents into the loop.
