[PATCH 1/2] scsi: sd: fix write_same(16/10) to enable sector size > PAGE_SIZE

From: sw . prabhu6

Date: Tue Feb 10 2026 - 20:53:11 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, initialize large page pool in
'sd_probe()' if a higher sector device is attached ensuring
atomicity. Adapt 'sd_set_special_bvec()' to use large page
pool when a higher sector size device is attached.

With the above fix, enable sector sizes > PAGE_SIZE in
scsi sd driver.
