[patch] Revert "block: remove artifical max_hw_sectors cap"
| Quote: | This reverts commit 34b48db66e08, which caused significant iozone
performance regressions and uncovered a silent data corruption
bug in at least one disk.
For SAN storage, we've seen initial write and re-write performance drop
25-50% across all I/O sizes. On locally attached storage, we've seen
regressions of 40% for all I/O types, but only for I/O sizes larger than
1MB.
In addition to the performance issues, we've also seen data corruption
on one disk/hba combination. See

[PATCH] libata: add ATA_HORKAGE_MAX_SEC_1024 to revert back to previous max_sectors limit
| Quote: | Since no longer limiting max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS (commit 34b48db66e08),
data corruption may occur on ST380013AS drive configured on 82801JI (ICH10 Family)
SATA controller. This patch will allow the driver to limit max_sectors as before
# cat /sys/block/sdb/queue/max_sectors_kb
512
I was able to double the max_sectors_kb value up to 16384 on linux-4.2.0-rc2
before seeing corruption, but seems safer to use previous limit. Without this
patch max_sectors_kb will be 32767.
