Commit4f563a6473("block: add a max_user_discard_sectors queue limit") changed block core to set max_discard_sectors to: min(lim->max_hw_discard_sectors, lim->max_user_discard_sectors) Since commit1c0e720228("dm: use queue_limits_set") it was reported dm-thinp was failing in a few fstests (generic/347 and generic/405) with the first WARN_ON_ONCE in dm_cell_key_has_valid_range() being reported, e.g.: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 30 at drivers/md/dm-bio-prison-v1.c:128 dm_cell_key_has_valid_range+0x3d/0x50 blk_set_stacking_limits() sets max_user_discard_sectors to UINT_MAX, so given how block core now sets max_discard_sectors (detailed above) it follows that blk_stack_limits() stacks up the underlying device's max_hw_discard_sectors and max_discard_sectors is set to match it. If max_hw_discard_sectors exceeds dm's BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE, then dm_cell_key_has_valid_range() will trigger the warning with: WARN_ON_ONCE(key->block_end - key->block_begin > BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE) Aside from this warning, the discard will fail. Fix this and other DM issues by governing discard support in terms of max_hw_discard_sectors instead of max_discard_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 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.
