Hello
I have been testing the SRP initiator code to an LIO array here and part of the
testing requires me to set the max_sectors_kb size to get 4k I/O's.
This has been due to me having to debug various sg_map issues.
Linux srptest 4.5.0 #2 SMP Thu Apr 7 16:14:38 EDT 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
GNU/Linux
This kernel has the scan patch from Hannes, as well as the "[PATCH] IB/mlx5:
Expose correct max_sge_rd limit" patch.
However, I also tested with vanilla 4.5.0 as well and its the same issue.
For some reason I cannot change the max_sectors_kb size on 4.5.0 here.
I chatted with Ewan about it as well and he reminded me about Martins changes
so wondering if that's playing into this.
Take /dev/sdb as an example
