[Qemu-block] [PATCH v2 04/17] nbd: Allow larger requests |
Date: |
Tue, 14 Jun 2016 15:30:26 -0600 |
The NBD layer was breaking up request at a limit of 2040 sectors
(just under 1M) to cater to old qemu-nbd. But the server limit
was raised to 32M in commit 2d8214885 to match the kernel, more
than three years ago; and the upstream NBD Protocol is proposing
documentation that without any explicit communication to state
otherwise, a client should be able to safely assume that a 32M
transaction will work. It is time to rely on the larger sizing,
and any downstream distro that cares about maximum
interoperability to older qemu-nbd servers can just tweak the
value of #define NBD_MAX_SECTORS.
