When do GC, the number of read/write sectors are determined by max_write_pgs(see gc_rq preparation in pblk_gc_line_prepare_ws). Due to max_write_pgs doesn't consider max hw sectors supported by nvme controller(128K), which leads to GC tries to read 64 * 4K in one command, and see below error caused by pblk_bio_map_addr in function pblk_submit_read_gc.

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.
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.
