Each one uses a different phrase: * for a READ or WRITE request * in a single data transfer * for a filesystem request Is some subtle difference being implied? Since there are existing sysfs file with similar names, you're stuck using _kb for the new one. However, I suggest that the Documentation at least mention these are really KiB, not kilobyte, units. --- Robert Elliott, HPE Persistent Memory -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Some storage devices report a maximum transfer length which indicates the maximum size of an I/O request that the device can process. This limit is enforced in combination with the controller's max_hw_sectors and DMA constraints to ensure that we do not issue a command too big for the device. Export the max_dev_sectors_kb queue limit in sysfs and update the documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Martin K.
