Maximum supported IO size is 8MB for the iSER driver. The current value is limited by the ISCSI_ISER_MAX_SG_TABLESIZE macro. But the driver is able to handle 16MB IOs without any significant changes. Increasing this limit can be useful for the storage arrays which are fine tuned for IOs larger than 8 MB. This commit allows to configure maximum IO size up to 16MB using the max_sectors module parameter.

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.
