From: Namjae Jeon <[email protected]> It is better to use blk_queue_max_discard_sectors helper function to set max_discard_sectors as it checks max_discard_sectors upper limit UINT_MAX >> 9
similar issue was reported for mmc in below link https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/1/292 If multiple discard requests get merged, merged discard request's size exceeds 4GB, there is possibility that merged discard request's __data_len field may overflow. This patch fixes this issue.
