This worked fine until the kzalloc of the sglist was replaced with kmalloc and sg_init_table only zeroed the exact needed length. Apparently kzalloc zeroes a bit more than is strictly necessary so the offset field was always 0 in the past. But now the offset field was suddenly random and this led to broken captures.
