It isn't now we put the limit, and this way has been done for stacking device since beginning, it is actually added by commit d690cb8ae14b in v6.9-rc1.

If max segment size isn't aligned with virt_boundary_mask, bio_split_rw() will split the bio with max segment size, this way still works, just not
efficiently. And in reality, the two are often aligned.

I take it as a compliment, building exotic configurations is something I'd love to be good at. But, as far as I understand, this warning is caused by my raid config, right? How is it possible that a raid6 array has a queue/max_segment_size of (2^16 - 1) in sysfs while 2 others on the same system have a queue/max_segment_size of (2^32 - 1)? they are all rotational devices on the same SAS controller, just this malfunctioning one uses SATA drives while the other 2 are SAS.
Understanding this would help me to avoid this unwanted behavior.

Kind regards,
