The purpose of the chunk_sectors limit is to ensure that a mergeble request fits within the boundary of the chunck_sector value. Such a feature will be useful for other request_queue boundary limits, so generalize the chunk_sectors merge code. This idea was proposed by Hannes Reinecke. Reviewed-by: Martin K.

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.
