4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Stefan Haberland <s...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
commit 12d319b920fa673a4d5e7c1785c5dc82dcd15257 upstream.
Commit ca369d51b ("sd: Fix device-imposed transfer length limits")
introduced a new queue limit max_dev_sectors which limits the maximum
sectors for requests. The default value leads to small dasd requests
and therefor to a performance drop.
Set the max_dev_sectors value to the same value as the max_hw_sectors
to use the maximum available request size for DASD devices.
