From: Jaegeuk Kim jaegeuk@kernel.org Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2018 09:25:37 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] dm: do not allow readahead to limit IO size
Update DM to set the bdi's io_pages. This fixes reads to be capped at the device's max request size (even if user's read IO exceeds the established readahead setting).
