I'm not sure that I followed you. mem->offset is set by sg_set_buf from
buf variable returned by dma_alloc_coherent(). HW needs to get very
precise size of this buf, in multiple of pages and aligned to pages
boundaries.

See the patch inline which removes this BUG_ON in proper and safe way.

Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx4: Remove BUG_ON from ICM allocation routine

This patch removes BUG_ON() macro from mlx4_alloc_icm_coherent()
by checking DMA address aligment in advance and performing proper
folding in case of error.

Fixes: 5b0bf5e25efe ("mlx4_core: Support ICM tables in coherent memory")
