From: "sumit.saxena@avagotech.com" <redacted> Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2015 13:40:04 +0530 Subject: megaraid_sas: Do not use PAGE_SIZE for max_sectors From: sumit.saxena@avagotech.com <redacted> commit 357ae967ad66e357f78b5cfb5ab6ca07fb4a7758 upstream. Do not use PAGE_SIZE marco to calculate max_sectors per I/O request. Driver code assumes PAGE_SIZE will be always 4096 which can lead to wrongly calculated value if PAGE_SIZE is not 4096.
