The max_user_sectors is one of the three factors determining the actual
max_sectors limit for READ/WRITE requests. Because of that it needs to
be stacked at least for the device mapper multi-path case where requests
are directly inserted on the lower device. For SCSI disks this is
important because the sd driver actually sets it's own advisory limit
that is lower than max_hw_sectors based on the block limits VPD page.
While this is a bit odd an unusual, the same effect can happen if a
user or udev script tweaks the value manually.

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.
