Subject: [PATCH] block: fix max discard sectors limit

From: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@...sung.com>

linux-v3.8-rc1 and later support for plug for blkdev_issue_discard with
commit 0cfbcafcae8b7364b5fa96c2b26ccde7a3a296a9
(block: add plug for blkdev_issue_discard )

For example,
1) DISCARD rq-1 with size size 4GB
2) DISCARD rq-2 with size size 1GB

If these 2 discard requests get merged, final request size will be 5GB.

In this case, request's __data_len field may overflow as it can store
max 4GB(unsigned int).

This issue was observed while doing mkfs.f2fs on 5GB SD card:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/1/292

Info: sector size = 512
Info: total sectors = 11370496 (in 512bytes)
Info: zone aligned segment0 blkaddr: 512
[  257.789764] blk_update_request: bio idx 0 >= vcnt 0

mkfs process gets stuck in D state and I see the following in the dmesg:

[  257.789733] __end_that: dev mmcblk0: type=1, flags=122c8081
[  257.789764]   sector 4194304, nr/cnr 2981888/4294959104
[  257.789764]   bio df3840c0, biotail df3848c0, buffer   (null), len
1526726656
[  257.789764] blk_update_request: bio idx 0 >= vcnt 0
[  257.794921] request botched: dev mmcblk0: type=1, flags=122c8081
[  257.794921]   sector 4194304, nr/cnr 2981888/4294959104
[  257.794921]   bio df3840c0, biotail df3848c0, buffer   (null), len
1526726656

This patch fixes this issue.
