From: Xiang Chen <chenxiang66@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Max sectors of limitations for scsi host can be set through scsi_host_template->max_sectors in scsi driver. But we find that max sectors may exceed scsi_host_template->max_sectors for SATA disk even if we set it. We find that it may be overwrote in some scsi drivers (which calls the callback slave_configure and also calls function ata_scsi_dev_config in it). The invoking relationship is as follows: scsi_probe_and_add_lun ... scsi_alloc_sdev scsi_mq_alloc_queue ... __scsi_init_queue blk_queue_max_hw_sectors(q, shost->max_sectors) //max_sectors coming from sht->max_sectors scsi_change_queue_depth scsi_sysfs_device_initialize shost->hostt->slave_alloc() xxx_salve_configure ... ata_scsi_dev_config blk_queue_max_hw_sectors(q, dev->max_sectors) //max_sectors is overwrote by dev->max_sectors To avoid the issue, set q->limits.max_sectors with the minimum value between dev->max_sectors and q->limits.max_sectors.
