Increasing the per-request size maximum to 4MiB (8192 sectors x 512 bytes) runs into the per-device DMA scatter gather list limit (max_segments) for users of the io vector system calls (e.g. readv and writev). Increase the max scatter gather list length to 1024 to enable kernel to send 4MiB (1024 * 4KiB page size) requests.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
