The current command submission code uses a sector-based value when
considering the maximum number of blocks per command. With a
4k-formatted namespace and a command exceeding max hardware limits, this
calculation doesn't split IOs which should be split and fails in the
nvme layer. This patch fixes that calculation and enables IO splitting
in these circumstances.

Patch looks correct to me, as we always consider the hw sectors settings
in units of 512b blocks.

May be replace 9 with SECTOR_SHIFT ?

Jens,

I just realized that this macro is defined in linux/device-mapper.h,
which does not seem like to best place to have it. Why not blkdev.h ?
Any particular reason ? This leads to some strange include dependencies,
like many nfs/blocklayout/ files including device-mapper.h just to get
that definition.

Best regards.

I'm fine with moving it and using it everywhere. Right now we don't in
the block core at all, 9 is always hard coded. While that change would
be fine, it should be done independently of this patch, which is a real
bug fix.

Thank you for the clarification. I will try to send something later.

Best regards.
