Hi,

Looking into whether this is a bug, or an expect behavior with kernel 4.18+

RHEL 8.4 on AWS r5.xlarge hardware type, attaching nvme disks, observing 
the nvme device is configuring optimal_io_size to 4KB
i.e.
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/nvme/nvme4/nvme4n1/queue/optimal_io_size 
4096

When attaching this device remotely using Linux-IO, the initiator device is 
using the target's 'optimal_io_size' to set the max_sectors_kb. 
i.e.
/sys/devices/platform/host1/session8/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sdb/queue/max_sectors_kb
 
4

This does not seem to be correct behavior. optimal_io_size and 
max_sectors_kb should not be directly related.  Do not observe this 
behavior with RHEL7.

target:
 - RHEL 8.4, 4.18.0-305.12.1.el8_4.x86_64
initiator: 
 - RHEL 8.4, 4.18.0-305.12.1.el8_4.x86_64
 - iscsi-initiator-utils-iscsiuio-6.2.1.2-1.gita8fcb37.el8.x86_64
 - iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.1.2-1.gita8fcb37.el8.x86_64


Thanks,

Alexis.
