Konstantin Khlebnikov 6695041218 block: keep bdi->io_pages in sync with max_sectors_kb for stacked devices
[ Upstream commit e74d93e96d721c4297f2a900ad0191890d2fc2b0 ]

Field bdi->io_pages added in commit 9491ae4aade6 ("mm: don't cap request
size based on read-ahead setting") removes unneeded split of read requests.

Stacked drivers do not call blk_queue_max_hw_sectors(). Instead they set
limits of their devices by blk_set_stacking_limits() + disk_stack_limits().
Field bio->io_pages stays zero until user set max_sectors_kb via sysfs.

This patch updates io_pages after merging limits in disk_stack_limits().

Commit c6d6e9b0f6b4 ("dm: do not allow readahead to limit IO size") fixed
the same problem for device-mapper devices, this one fixes MD RAIDs.

Fixes: 9491ae4aade6 ("mm: don't cap request size based on read-ahead setting")

============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
