How can you be affected by the incorrect setting of q->limits.max_discard sectors when n the blkdev_issue_discard() code you see: max_discard_sectors = min(q->limits.max_discard_sectors, UINT_MAX >> 9); ? The problem is not that we issue discards bigger than __data_len can allow, the problem is that we merge them larger than __data_len will allow. That means the merge code needs fixing to pay attention to max_discard_sectors, so isn't this the correct fix: James --- diff --git a/include/linux/blkdev.h b/include/linux/blkdev.h index 78feda9..33f358f 100644 --- a/include/linux/blkdev.h +++ b/include/linux/blkdev.h @@ -838,7 +838,7 @@ static inline unsigned int blk_queue_get_max_sectors(struct request_queue *q, unsigned int cmd_flags) { if (unlikely(cmd_flags & REQ_DISCARD)) - return q->limits.max_discard_sectors; + return min(q->limits.max_discard_sectors, UINT_MAX >> 9); if (unlikely(cmd_flags & REQ_WRITE_SAME)) return q->limits.max_write_same_sectors; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
