block: eliminate potential for infinite loop in blkdev_issue_discard
Due to the recently identified overflow in read_capacity_16() it was possible for max_discard_sectors to be zero but still have discards enabled on the associated device's queue. Eliminate the possibility for blkdev_issue_discard to infinitely loop. Interestingly this issue wasn't identified until a device, whose discard_granularity was 0 due to read_capacity_16 overflow, was consumed by blk_stack_limits() to construct limits for a higher-level DM multipath device. The multipath device's resulting limits never had the discard limits stacked because blk_stack_limits() will only do so if the bottom device's discard_granularity != 0. This resulted in the multipath device's limits.max_discard_sectors being 0. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
