[PATCH 3.8 079/152] block: properly stack underlying max_segment_size to DM device

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Fri Dec 06 2013 - 18:16:21 EST


3.8.13.14 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit d82ae52e68892338068e7559a0c0657193341ce4 upstream.

Without this patch all DM devices will default to BLK_MAX_SEGMENT_SIZE
(65536) even if the underlying device(s) have a larger value -- this is
due to blk_stack_limits() using min_not_zero() when stacking the
max_segment_size limit.
