rbd: bump queue_max_segments
The default queue_limits::max_segments value (BLK_MAX_SEGMENTS = 128) unnecessarily limits bio sizes to 512k (assuming 4k pages). rbd, being a virtual block device, doesn't have any restrictions on the number of physical segments, so bump max_segments to max_hw_sectors, in theory allowing a sector per segment (although the only case this matters that I can think of is some readv/writev style thing). In practice this is going to give us 1M bios - the number of segments in a bio is limited in bio_get_nr_vecs() by BIO_MAX_PAGES = 256. Note that this doesn't result in any improvement on a typical direct sequential test. This is because on a box with a not too badly fragmented memory the default BLK_MAX_SEGMENTS is enough to see nice rbd object size sized requests. The only difference is the size of bios being merged - 512k vs 1M for something like $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rbd0 oflag=direct bs=$RBD_OBJ_SIZE $ dd if=/dev/rbd0 iflag=direct of=/dev/null bs=$RBD_OBJ_SIZE Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Alex Elder <elder@linaro.org>
