Subject: [PATCH 1/2] virtio: block: set max_segment_size and max_sectors to infinite.
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2008 17:24:15 +1030	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200811171724.15682.rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200811171722.43792.rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Setting max_segment_size allows more than 64k per sg element, unless
the host specified a limit.  Setting max_sectors indicates that our
max_hw_segments is the only limit.

Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
