Otherwise, blk_validate_limits() will throw-away the max_sectors that was stacked from underlying device(s). In doing so it can set a max_sectors limit that violates underlying device limits. This caused dm-multipath IO failures like the following because the underlying devices' max_sectors were stacked up to be 1024, yet blk_validate_limits() defaulted max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS_CAP (2560): [ 1214.673233] blk_insert_cloned_request: over max size limit.
