[PATCH 4.9 01/22] block: break discard submissions into the user defined size

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Dec 28 2018 - 07:17:17 EST


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

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

[ Upstream commit af097f5d199e2aa3ab3ef777f0716e487b8f7b08 ]

Don't build discards bigger than what the user asked for, if the
user decided to limit the size by writing to 'discard_max_bytes'.
