in kern_physio.c:

struct buf *
phygetvpbuf(dev_t dev, int resid)
{
        struct cdevsw *bdsw;
        int maxio;

        bdsw = cdevsw[major(dev)];
        if ((bdsw == NULL) || (bdsw->d_bmaj == -1))
                return getpbuf();

        maxio = bdsw->d_maxio;
        if (resid > maxio)
                resid = maxio;

        return getpbuf();
}


why is resid being truyncaated and maxio being set when this has no
effect?
