Commit 16d80c54ad ("rbd: set io_min, io_opt and discard_granularity to
alloc_size") lowered the io_opt size for rbd from objset_bytes which is
4MB for typical setup to alloc_size which is typically 64KB.
The commit mostly talks about discard behavior and does mention io_min
in passing. Reducing io_opt means reducing the readahead size, which
seems counter-intuitive given that rbd currently abuses the user
max_sectors setting to actually increase the I/O size. Switch back
to the old setting to allow larger reads (the readahead size despite it's
name actually limits the size of any buffered read) and to prepare
for using io_opt in the max_sectors calculation and getting drivers out
of the business of overriding the max_user_sectors value.

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.
