    scsi_debug: allow huge transfer length for read/write commands · 6bb5e6e7
    Akinobu Mita authored
    This change enables to test read/write commands with huge transfer
    length such as 1GB.  For example:
    
    	# modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=1024 clustering=1 opts=1
    	# cat /sys/block/$DEV/queue/max_hw_sectors_kb > \
    		/sys/block/$DEV/queue/max_sectors_kb
    	# fio --name=test --rw=write --bs=1g --size=1g --filename=/dev/$DEV \
    		--mem=mmaphuge  --direct=1
    
    The data type of max_sectors in scsi_host_template has been extended
    to unsigned int by the previous change.  So we can increase it from
    0xffff to 0xffffffff to allow such huge transfer length.
    
    Also, this increases sg_tablesize and max_segment_size, otherwise the
    maximum transfer length is limited to 64MB.
    (sg_tablesize * max_segment_size = 256 * 256KB)
