[Qemu-devel] [PULL 17/41] block: get max_transfer limit for char (scsi-generic) devices

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

From: Eric Farman <farman@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

We can get the maximum number of bytes for a single I/O transfer
from the BLKSECTGET ioctl, but we only perform this for block
devices.  scsi-generic devices are represented as character devices,
and so do not issue this today.  Update this, so that virtio-scsi
devices using the scsi-generic interface can return the same data.
