Subject: [PATCH 083/150] target/file: Bump FD_MAX_SECTORS to 2048 to handle 1M sized I/Os

3.5.7.9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@...ux-iscsi.org>

commit f002a24388cc460c8a9be7d446a9871f7c9d52b6 upstream.

This patch bumps the default FILEIO backend FD_MAX_SECTORS value from
1024 -> 2048 in order to allow block_size=512 to handle 1M sized I/Os.

The current default rejects I/Os larger than 512K in sbc_parse_cdb():

[12015.915146] SCSI OP 2ah with too big sectors 1347 exceeds backend
hw_max_sectors: 1024
[12015.977744] SCSI OP 2ah with too big sectors 2048 exceeds backend
hw_max_sectors: 1024

This issue is present in >= v3.5 based kernels, introduced after the
removal of se_task logic.
