Subject: uml: limit request size on COWed devices
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8619b86f20588c020b280e6f67a9b8712b1ee38a;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.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.
