From 67efc9258010da35b27b3854d0880c7e193004ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:54:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] block: allow large discard requests Currently we set the bio size to the byte equivalent of the blocks to be trimmed when submitting the initial DISCARD ioctl. That means it is subject to the max_hw_sectors limitation of the HBA which is much lower than the size of a DISCARD request we can support. Add a separate max_discard_sectors tunable to limit the size for discard requests. We limit the max discard request size in bytes to 32bit as that is the limit for bio->bi_size. This could be much larger if we had a way to pass that information through the block layer.
