From: Etienne AUJAMES <eaujames@xxxxxxx> A user can change the value of max_sectors_kb on the multipath device and its path devices. So when a path is deleted and then re-added, its value will not be the same as the multipath device. In that case the IOs could be mis-sized. On reload, this patch re-apply max_sectors_kb value of the multipath device on its path devices.
