After commit ea2f0f77538c, a 416-CPU VM running on Hyper-V hangs during
boot because scsi_add_host_with_dma() sets shost->cmd_per_lun to a
negative number:
	'max_outstanding_req_per_channel' is 352,
	'max_sub_channels' is (416 - 1) / 4 = 103, so in storvsc_probe(),
scsi_driver.can_queue = 352 * (103 + 1) * (100 - 10) / 100 = 32947, which
is bigger than SHRT_MAX (i.e. 32767).

Out of curiosity, are these values realistic? You're capping can_queue just because of a data size issue, so, if these values are realistic, seems a weak reason.


Fix the hang issue by capping scsi_driver.can_queue.

Add the below Fixed tag though ea2f0f77538c itself is good.

The different data sizes for cmd_per_lun and can_queue are problematic here.

I'd be more inclined to set cmd_per_lun to the same data size as can_queue. We did discuss this when ea2f0f77538c was upstreamed (actually it was the other way around - setting can_queue to 16b).

Thanks,
John
