From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 24 2018 - 08:30:10 EST


4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 42c9cdfe1e11e083dceb0f0c4977b758cf7403b9 ]

Set max_discard_segments to USHRT_MAX in blk_set_stacking_limits() so
that blk_stack_limits() can stack up this limit for stacked devices.

before:

$ cat /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/max_discard_segments
256
$ cat /sys/block/dm-0/queue/max_discard_segments
1

after:

$ cat /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/max_discard_segments
256
$ cat /sys/block/dm-0/queue/max_discard_segments
256

Fixes: 1e739730c5b9e ("block: optionally merge discontiguous discard bios into a single request")
