Subject: [PATCH 01/15] block: add a BIO_MAX_SIZE constant and use it
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2026 06:53:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260126055406.1421026-2-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260126055406.1421026-1-hch@lst.de>
Currently the only constant for the maximum bio size is BIO_MAX_SECTORS,
which is in units of 512-byte sectors, but a lot of user need a byte
limit.
Add a BIO_MAX_SIZE constant, redefine BIO_MAX_SECTORS in terms of it, and
switch all bio-related uses of UINT_MAX for the maximum size to use the
symbolic names instead.
