Re: SCSI Command scatter-gather number: msg#00215

Subject: Re: SCSI Command scatter-gather number
On 2.4 the use_sg value should be limited to the smaller of MAX_SEGMENTS
or the scsi host sg_tablesize.

This is checked in the block interface during __make_request. I believe if
you got through the sg interface the limiting value is only sg_tablesize,
but Doug is the best one to answer that.
