Subject: md/raid5: Compare apples to apples (or sectors to sectors)
From: Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit e7597e69dec59b65c5525db1626b9d34afdfa678 upstream.
'max_discard_sectors' is in sectors, while 'stripe' is in bytes.
This fixes the problem where DISCARD would get disabled on some larger
RAID5 configurations (6 or more drives in my testing), while it worked
as expected with smaller configurations.
Fixes: 620125f2bf8 ("MD: raid5 trim support")
