Subject: [PATCH] bio: fix argument of __bio_add_page() for max_sectors > 0xffff
Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2013 22:11:42 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1384780302-25009-1-git-send-email-akinobu.mita@gmail.com> (raw)
The data type of max_sectors and max_hw_sectors in queue settings are
unsigned int. But these values are passed to __bio_add_page() as an
argument whose data type is unsigned short. In the worst case such as
max_sectors is 0x10000, bio_add_page() can't add a page and IOs can't
proceed.
