The iSER driver reduces max_sectors. For example, if you load the
ib_iser module with max_sectors=1024, you will see that
/sys/class/block/<bdev>/queue/max_hw_sectors_kb is 508. It is an
incorrect value. The expected value is (max_sectors * sector_size) /
1024 = 512.
Reducing of max_sectors can cause performance degradation due to
unnecessary splitting of IO requests.
The number of pages per MR has been fixed here, so there is no longer
any need to reduce max_sectors.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
