From 6e9429f9c66c4b15fb214a0cb8bce657ef98daaf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Wed, 27 Dec 2023 09:23:02 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] null_blk: don't cap max_hw_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS [ 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.
