Max Gurtovoy ff13c1b87c nvme-rdma: Fix max_hw_sectors calculation
By default, the NVMe/RDMA driver should support max io_size of 1MiB (or
upto the maximum supported size by the HCA). Currently, one will see that
/sys/class/block/<bdev>/queue/max_hw_sectors_kb is 1020 instead of 1024.

A non power of 2 value can cause performance degradation due to
unnecessary splitting of IO requests and unoptimized allocation units.

The number of pages per MR has been fixed here, so there is no longer any
need to reduce max_sectors by 1.

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 Restructured Text 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.
