Hello,
Applied with comment updates. I don't think it's a good idea to refer
to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS which doesn't exist in the tree.
Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] libata: add ATA_HORKAGE_MAX_SEC_1024 to revert back to
previous max_sectors limit
Since no longer limiting max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS (commit 34b48db66e08),
data corruption may occur on ST380013AS drive configured on 82801JI (ICH10 Family)
SATA controller. This patch will allow the driver to limit max_sectors as before
# cat /sys/block/sdb/queue/max_sectors_kb
512
I was able to double the max_sectors_kb value up to 16384 on linux-4.2.0-rc2
before seeing corruption, but seems safer to use previous limit. Without this
patch max_sectors_kb will be 32767.
tj: Minor comment update.
