This is what i observed ,please correct me if i am wrong.
The packet when reaches esp_output(),is in socket buffer and based on 
the number of frags ,sg is initialized  using
sg_init_table(sg,frags),where frags are 15 in our case.

The socket buffer data is then copied to this sg and then struct 
aead_request members are filled.
After this crypto aead request which contains all data in its sg list 
goes to hw crypto driver for encryption in a single request.

In the crypto driver we are receiving a single aead-request with all 15 
sgs in that request.

Thanks,

Ayush
