[PATCH 3.14 092/158] target/rd: T10-Dif: RAM disk is allocating more space than required.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun May 04 2014 - 12:33:53 EST


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

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

From: Quinn Tran <quinn.tran@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9d2e59f2a778328a41771fe9a0098dadbc4314ba upstream.

Ram disk is allocating 8x more space than required for diff data.
For large RAM disk test, there is small potential for memory
starvation.

(Use block_size when calculating total_sg_needed - sagi + nab)
