Hi,

got a WARNING splatch (=> boot harddrive is inaccessible - device fails to boot)

scsi_alloc_sdev: Allocation failure during SCSI scanning, some SCSI devices might not be configured

---

This is due to this patch adds
| /*
|   * By default there is no limit on the segment boundary alignment,
|   * but if there is one it can't be smaller than the page size as
|   * that would break all the normal I/O patterns.
|   */
|   if (!lim->seg_boundary_mask)
|           lim->seg_boundary_mask = BLK_SEG_BOUNDARY_MASK;
|   if (WARN_ON_ONCE(lim->seg_boundary_mask < PAGE_SIZE - 1)) <----- this warning gets triggered
|          return -EINVAL;

My guess is that this is caused by the kernel has a 16K page size.

CONFIG_HAVE_PAGE_SIZE_16KB=y
CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_16KB=y
CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_64KB=y
CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_256KB=y
CONFIG_PAGE_SHIFT=14

This worked fine (sata driver is sata_dwc_460ex.c) in the past (and using 16K pages was
slightly faster than 4k pages)... and yes: using a 4K page size works (as in: device boots again).

Regards,
Christian
