I suppose that this can be sent as a separate patch to be merged now.

There have been some bugs found in case that PAGE_SIZE == 64K, and I
think it is bad to use PAGE_SIZE for validating many hw/queue limits, we might
have to fix them first.

I am just suggesting to remove duplicated code, as these checks are same as blk_validate_block_size()


Such as:

Aren't the below list just enforcing block layer requirements? And so only block drivers need fixing for PAGE_SIZE > 4K (or cannot be used for PAGE_SIZE > 4K), right?


1) blk_validate_limits()

- failure if max_segment_size is less than 64K
> > - max_user_sectors

if (lim->max_user_sectors < PAGE_SIZE / SECTOR_SIZE)
        return -EINVAL;

2) bio_may_need_split()

- max_segment_size may be less than 64K

Thanks,
