These bytes remain uninitialized, which leads to a problem. Extend last_sg->length by pad_len first, then use sg_zero_buffer() to zero those pad_len bytes. sg_zero_buffer() uses sg_miter internally, which correctly handles sg entries spanning multiple pages and padding that crosses a page boundary.
