The patch titled Subject: aoe: support larger I/O requests via aoe_maxsectors module param has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was aoe-support-larger-i-o-requests-via-aoe_maxsectors-module-param.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Ed Cashin <ecashin@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: aoe: support larger I/O requests via aoe_maxsectors module param The GPFS filesystem is an example of an aoe user that requires the aoe driver to support I/O request sizes larger than the default. Most users will not need large I/O request sizes, because they would need to be split up into multiple AoE commands anyway.
