Subject: raid5: allow arbitrary max_hw_sectors
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fcd4a4cc13599a5dd56d2578ff32beba682628b2;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

raid5: allow arbitrary max_hw_sectors

raid5 will split bio to proper size internally, there is no point to use
underlayer disk's max_hw_sectors. In my qemu system, without the change,
the raid5 only receives 128k size bio, which reduces the chance of bio
merge sending to underlayer disks.
