    md/raid5: limit request size according to implementation limits · e8d7c332
    Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
    Current implementation employ 16bit counter of active stripes in lower
    bits of bio->bi_phys_segments. If request is big enough to overflow
    this counter bio will be completed and freed too early.
    
    Fortunately this not happens in default configuration because several
    other limits prevent that: stripe_cache_size * nr_disks effectively
    limits count of active stripes. And small max_sectors_kb at lower
    disks prevent that during normal read/write operations.
    
    Overflow easily happens in discard if it's enabled by module parameter
    "devices_handle_discard_safely" and stripe_cache_size is set big enough.
    
    This patch limits requests size with 256Mb - 8Kb to prevent overflows.
