blk-settings: round down io_opt to physical_block_size
There was a bug report [1] where the user got a warning alignment inconsistency. The user has optimal I/O 16776704 (0xFFFE00) and physical block size 4096. Note that the optimal I/O size may be set by the DMA engines or SCSI controllers and they have no knowledge about the disks attached to them, so the situation with optimal I/O not aligned to physical block size may happen. This commit makes blk_validate_limits round down optimal I/O size to the physical block size of the block device. Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/dm-devel/1426ad71-79b4-4062-b2bf-84278be66a5d@redhat.com/T/ [1] Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Fixes: a236346 ("block: take io_opt and io_min into account for max_sectors") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v6.11+ Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/3dc0014b-9690-dc38-81c9-4a316a2d4fb2@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
