Subject: uml: limit request size on COWed devices
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8619b86f20588c020b280e6f67a9b8712b1ee38a;p=linux-beck.git

uml: limit request size on COWed devices

COWed devices can't handle more than 32 (64 on x86_64) sectors in one request
due to the size of the bitmap being carried around in the io_thread_req.

Enforce that by telling the block layer not to put too many sectors in
requests to COWed devices.
