The block layer might merge together discard requests up until the max_discard_segments limit is hit, but blk_insert_cloned_request checks the segment count against max_segments regardless of the req op. This can result in errors like the following when discards are issued through a DM device and max_discard_segments exceeds max_segments for the queue of the chosen underlying device. blk_insert_cloned_request: over max segments limit. (256 > 129) Fix this by looking at the req_op and enforcing the appropriate segment limit - max_discard_segments for REQ_OP_DISCARDs and max_segments for everything else.

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.
