Actually it is initialized to 1024 in iscsi_iser_sht / iscsi_iser.c, so it isn't derived from sg_tables (although it probably should be). I can remove the min_t() though.
Hey Or, thoughts?
Originally, we've put the double restriction of 128 SG entries AND 1024
sectors to make sure that whatever SG is up there, it'snot spanning >
512KB.
Think on SG whose one/some of their element/s is > one page or on
systems with > 4KB page size or others examples... since your patch
touched the number of SG entries I was thinking you need to make sure no
regression was introduced re the max_sectors to be <= 1024
If U2 are @ consensus that this is the case with the original patch w.o
further changes, let it be.
Or.
