Subject: [PATCH] pblk: fix max_io calculation
Date:   Thu,  7 Mar 2019 13:18:53 +0100

When calculating the maximun I/O size allowed into the buffer, consider
the write size (ws_opt) used by the write thread in order to cover the
case in which, due to flushes, the mem and subm pointers are disaligned
by (ws_opt - 1). This case currently translates into a stall when
an I/O of the largest possible size is submitted.

Fixes: f9f9d1ae2c66 ("lightnvm: pblk: prevent stall due to wb threshold")

Matias: Can you apply this as a fix to 5.1. This is a case I missed when fixing
the wb threshold, which is also scheduled for 5.1

Thanks,
Javier
