"[PATCH 1/2] UBI: Add initial support for scatter gather" adds it.

/**
 * struct ubi_sgl - UBI scatter gather list data structure.
 * @list_pos: current position in @sg[]
 * @page_pos: current position in @sg[@list_pos]
 * @sg: the scatter gather list itself
 *
 * ubi_sgl is a wrapper around a scatter list which keeps track of the
 * current position in the list and the current list item such that
 * it can be used across multiple ubi_leb_read_sg() calls.
 */
struct ubi_sgl {
        int list_pos;
        int page_pos;
        struct scatterlist sg[UBI_MAX_SG_COUNT];
};

Yep, but the ubi_sql has a fixed number of scatterlist entries, UBI_MAX_SG_COUNT.
And I limit it also to that using: blk_queue_max_segments(dev->rq, UBI_MAX_SG_COUNT);

Is there another reason why I should use the return value of blk_rq_map_sg()?
Please also note that the UBI block driver is read-only.
