Subject[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 061/102] sd: Fix maximum I/O size for BLOCK_PC requests
Date
3.19.8-ckt7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Martin K. Petersen" <martin.petersen@oracle.com>

commit 4f258a46346c03fa0bbb6199ffaf4e1f9f599660 upstream.

Commit bcdb247c6b6a ("sd: Limit transfer length") clamped the maximum
size of an I/O request to the MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH field in the BLOCK
LIMITS VPD. This had the unfortunate effect of also limiting the maximum
size of non-filesystem requests sent to the device through sg/bsg.

Avoid using blk_queue_max_hw_sectors() and set the max_sectors queue
limit directly.

Also update the comment in blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() to clarify that
max_hw_sectors defines the limit for the I/O controller only.
