[PATCH 1/2] scsi: fix write_same16 and write_same10 for sector size > PAGE_SIZE

From: sw . prabhu6
Date: Mon Dec 01 2025 - 21:19:43 EST


From: Swarna Prabhu <sw.prabhu6@xxxxxxxxx>

The WRITE SAME(16) and WRITE SAME(10) scsi commands uses
a page from a dedicated mempool('sd_page_pool') for its
payload. This pool was initialized to allocate single
pages, which was sufficient as long as the device sector
size did not exceed the PAGE_SIZE.

Given that block layer now supports block size upto
64K ie beyond PAGE_SIZE, adapt sd_set_special_bvec()
to accommodate that.

Note: We are allocating pages of order aligned to
BLK_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE for the mempool page allocator
'sd_page_pool' all the time. This is because we only
know that a bigger sector size device is attached at
sd_probe and it might be too late to reallocate mempool
with order > 0.
