Re: Kernel bio layer is sending bio size more than our block device is capable of handling
>From the kernel source code i came to know below things. 4.1 kernel version onward *""nr_pages = min(sdio->pages_in_io, bio_get_nr_vecs(map_bh->b_bdev))""* line has been removed which was considering max_sectors_kb of queue. Now new code is something like this* "nr_pages = min(sdio->pages_in_io, BIO_MAX_PAGES)"*, which is sending 256 bytes of data to our device which we are not supporting. Please let me know is there any other place where i can register my max_sectors_kb to kernel. -- View this message in context: http://linux-kernel.2935.n7.nabble.com/Kernel-bio-layer-is-sending-bio-size-more-than-our-block-device-is-capable-of-handling-tp1381843p1381844.html Sent from the Linux Kernel mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi Christoph Hellwig, So 4.4.0-59-generic is not stable one ?. If not then probably it would be problem for us if customer want the same kernel version!.

The latest released vesion at this point is Linux 4.10.

Please post your driver to the linux-block list, and test a recent kernel.

Hi Christoph Hellwig, Thanks for reply. BTW (since I'm new) what is linux-block list ?. Is it subscribe ?. Can you please let me know which is latest kernel version ?

Kernel bio layer is sending bio size more than our block device is capable of handling
Hello, We are registering bio size of our device with linux kernel with below available kernel API. blk_queue_max_hw_sectors(dev->osdev.queue, (dev->aggr_max_size >> KERNEL_SECTOR_SHIFT));. Max size of bio that our block device can handle is 106496 bytes (104KB) but linux block device is sending 262144 bytes (256 KB) which is more than we are registering with kernel. This issue we are observing in 4.4.0-59-generic kernel version. Until this we had not seen this issue. So does anything extra require to tell linux kernel or anything else need to register ?
