+ * sg_alloc_table_from_pages - Allocate and initialize an sg table from
+ * an array of pages
+ * @sgt: The sg table header to use
+ * @pages: Pointer to an array of page pointers
+ * @n_pages: Number of pages in the pages array
+ * @offset: Offset from start of the first page to the start of a buffer
+ * @size: Number of valid bytes in the buffer (after offset)
+ * @gfp_mask: GFP allocation mask
+ *
+ * Description:
+ * Allocate and initialize an sg table from a list of pages. Contiguous
+ * ranges of the pages are squashed into a single scatterlist node. A user
+ * may provide an offset at a start and a size of valid data in a buffer
+ * specified by the page array. The returned sg table is released by
+ * sg_free_table.
+ *
+ * Returns:
+ * 0 on success, negative error on failure
