commit75ae193626upstream. The limit was already incorporated to dm-crypt with commit4e870e948f("dm crypt: fix error with too large bios"), so we don't need to apply it globally to all targets. The quantity BIO_MAX_PAGES * PAGE_SIZE is wrong anyway because the variable ti->max_io_len it is supposed to be in the units of 512-byte sectors not in bytes. Reduction of the limit to 1048576 sectors could even cause data corruption in rare cases - suppose that we have a dm-striped device with stripe size 768MiB. The target will call dm_set_target_max_io_len with the value 1572864. The buggy code would reduce it to 1048576. Now, the dm-core will errorneously split the bios on 1048576-sector boundary insetad of 1572864-sector boundary and pass these stripe-crossing bios to the striped target.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
