The Hyper-V host is queried to get the max transfer size that it supports, and this value is used to set max_sectors for the synthetic SCSI controller. However, this max transfer size may be too large for virtual Fibre Channel devices, which are limited to 512 Kbytes. If a larger transfer size is used with a vFC device, Hyper-V always returns an error, and storvsc logs a message like this where the SRB status and SCSI status are both zero: hv_storvsc <GUID>: tag#197 cmd 0x8a status: scsi 0x0 srb 0x0 hv 0xc0000001 Add logic to limit the max transfer size to 512 Kbytes for vFC devices.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
