[RFC v2 1/2] scsi: sd: fix write_same16 and write_same10 for sector size > PAGE_SIZE

[sw.prabhu6]

From: Swarna Prabhu <sw.prabhu6@gmail.com>

The WRITE SAME(16) and WRITE SAME(10) scsi commands uses
a page from a dedicated mempool('sd_page_pool') for its
payload. This pool was initialized to allocate single
pages, which was sufficient as long as the device sector
size did not exceed the PAGE_SIZE.

Given that block layer now supports block size upto
64K ie beyond PAGE_SIZE, adapt sd_set_special_bvec()
to accommodate that.

With the above fix, enable sector sizes > PAGE_SIZE in
scsi sd driver.

Note: We are allocating pages of order aligned to 
BLK_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE for the mempool page allocator
'sd_page_pool' all the time. This is because we only
know that a bigger sector device is attached at sd_probe
and it might be too late to re allocate mempool with 
order > 0.

[RFC v2 2/2] scsi: scsi_debug: enable sdebug_sector_size > PAGE_SIZE

[sw.prabhu6]

From: Swarna Prabhu <sw.prabhu6@gmail.com>

Now that block layer can support block size > PAGE_SIZE
and the issue with WRITE SAME(16) and WRITE SAME(10) are
fixed for sector sizes > PAGE_SIZE, enable sdebug_sector_size
> PAGE_SIZE in scsi_debug.

Please use blk_validate_block_size() instead of open-coding it.

Instead of using this cumbersome approach to obtain the SCSI device
pointer, I recommend to change the 'struct request *rq' argument into
'struct scsi_cmnd *cmd' and to obtain the SCSI device pointer as
follows:

	struct scsi_device *sdp = cmd->device;

Otherwise this patch looks good to me.

Thanks,

Bart.
