Subject: [PATCH 3.18 09/39] sd: Fix max transfer length for 4k disks

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

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

From: Brian King <brking@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 3a9794d32984b67a6d8992226918618f0e51e5d5 upstream.

The following patch fixes an issue observed with 4k sector disks
where the max_hw_sectors attribute was getting set too large in
sd_revalidate_disk. Since sdkp->max_xfer_blocks is in units
of SCSI logical blocks and queue_max_hw_sectors is in units of
512 byte blocks, on a 4k sector disk, every time we went through
sd_revalidate_disk, we were taking the current value of
queue_max_hw_sectors and increasing it by a factor of 8. Fix
this by only shifting sdkp->max_xfer_blocks.
