[PATCH 1/1] block: don't overwrite max_sectors if user has set it

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Mike Christie <michaelc@xxxxxxxxxxx>

If the user has set max_sectors in sysfs, but the disk is revalidated
due to it being removable or having write protections and it being
opened, or dm/md claiming it, or something like a scsi rescan, etc,
then we are overwriting the user specified max_sectors value. This patch
only has us set the max_sectors if the new max_hw_sectors is smaller
or if the user has not changed max_sectors.
