block: fix max discard sectors limit
linux-v3.8-rc1 and later support for plug for blkdev_issue_discard with
commit 0cfbcafcae8b7364b5fa96c2b26ccde7a3a296a9
(block: add plug for blkdev_issue_discard )
For example,
1) DISCARD rq-1 with size size 4GB
2) DISCARD rq-2 with size size 1GB
If these 2 discard requests get merged, final request size will be 5GB.
In this case, request's __data_len field may overflow as it can store
max 4GB(unsigned int).
This issue was observed while doing mkfs.f2fs on 5GB SD card:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/1/292
Info: sector size = 512
Info: total sectors = 11370496 (in 512bytes)
Info: zone aligned segment0 blkaddr: 512
[ 257.789764] blk_update_request: bio idx 0 >= vcnt 0
mkfs process gets stuck in D state and I see the following in the dmesg:
[ 257.789733] __end_that: dev mmcblk0: type=1, flags=122c8081
