Subject: [PATCH 05/19] s390/dasd: Optimize max blocks per request for track alignment
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 13:15:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805111612.1285190-6-sth@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805111612.1285190-1-sth@linux.ibm.com>
With 4096-byte blocks a full ECKD track holds exactly 12 records. Lower
DASD_ECKD_MAX_BLOCKS from 190 to 180 so requests align to track
boundaries (15 full tracks); full-track I/O is more efficient than
partial-track writes, and 190 had no alignment significance and could
let a request cross a track boundary.
