The patch below does not apply to the 4.14-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.

Instead of backporting it was easier to add the commits it depends on.

1. af097f5d199e ("block: break discard submissions into the user defined size")

It is not marked for stable but seems it can be in stable.

2. b88aef36b87c ("block: fix infinite loop if the device loses discard capability")

It is marked for stable but is not there in 4.14-stable.

All are attached to this mail for you to apply.

I've queued both for 4.14 and 4.9. It seems that 4.4 needs something more complex than that.
