The sysfs handling function sdev_store_queue_depth() enforces that the sdev
queue depth cannot exceed shost can_queue. The initial sdev queue depth
comes from shost cmd_per_lun. However, the LLDD may manually set
cmd_per_lun to be larger than can_queue, which leads to an initial sdev
queue depth greater than can_queue.
Such an issue was reported in [0], which caused a hang. That has since been
fixed in commit fc09acb7de ("scsi: scsi_debug: Fix cmd_per_lun, set to
max_queue").
Stop this possibly happening for other drivers by capping shost cmd_per_lun
at shost can_queue.

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.
