6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 9a9525de865410047fa962867b4fcd33943b206f ]
null_blk has some rather odd capping of the max_hw_sectors value to
BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which doesn't make sense - max_hw_sector is the
hardware limit, and BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS despite the confusing name is the
default cap for the max_sectors field used for normal file system I/O.
Remove all the capping, and simply leave it to the block layer or
user to take up or not all of that for file system I/O.
Fixes: ea17fd354ca8 ("null_blk: Allow controlling max_hw_sectors limit")
