3.2.44-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Shan Hai <shan.hai@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit a32450e127fc6e5ca6d958ceb3cfea4d30a00846 upstream. The Slimtype DVD A DS8A8SH drive locks up when max sector is smaller than 65535, and the blow backtrace is observed on locking up: INFO: task flush-8:32:1130 blocked for more than 120 seconds. "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. flush-8:32 D ffffffff8180cf60 0 1130 2 0x00000000 ffff880273aef618 0000000000000046 0000000000000005 ffff880273aee000 ffff880273aee000 ffff880273aeffd8 ffff880273aee010 ffff880273aee000 ffff880273aeffd8 ffff880273aee000 ffff88026e842ea0 ffff880274a10000 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8168fc2d>] schedule+0x5d/0x70 [<ffffffff8168fccc>] io_schedule+0x8c/0xd0 [<ffffffff81324461>] get_request+0x731/0x7d0 [<ffffffff8133dc60>] ? cfq_allow_merge+0x50/0x90 [<ffffffff81083aa0>] ? wake_up_bit+0x40/0x40 [<ffffffff81320443>] ? bio_attempt_back_merge+0x33/0x110 [<ffffffff813248ea>] blk_queue_bio+0x23a/0x3f0 [<ffffffff81322176>] generic_make_request+0xc6/0x120 [<ffffffff81322308>] submit_bio+0x138/0x160 [<ffffffff811d7596>] ? bio_alloc_bioset+0x96/0x120 [<ffffffff811d1f61>] submit_bh+0x1f1/0x220 [<ffffffff811d48b8>] __block_write_full_page+0x228/0x340 [<ffffffff811d3650>] ? attach_nobh_buffers+0xc0/0xc0 [<ffffffff811d8960>] ?
