linux/block/blk-core.c
int blk_rq_check_limits(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq)
{
if (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_DISCARD)
return 0;
if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) > queue_max_sectors(q) ||
blk_rq_bytes(rq) > queue_max_hw_sectors(q) << 9) {
printk(KERN_ERR "%s: over max size limit.\n", __func__);
return -EIO;
}
I haven't seen that before, but if I should guess, I would guess that dm-* has
a larger queue than your underlying block device. If that is with your DDN
storage, can you verify if all those devices are have max_sec_kb tuned to
maximum?
Also, does that come up with 1.8.4 only? (I have SG_ALL in my mind which was
increased from 255 to 256, which might not be supported by all scsi host
adapters).
Cheers,
Bernd
