Hi all, with 3.16-rc1 rsync stops writing to my btrfs filesystem and stays at a D+ state. git bisect showed that the problematic commit is: 762380ad9322951cea4ce9d24864265f9c66a916 is the first bad commit commit 762380ad9322951cea4ce9d24864265f9c66a916 Author: Jens Axboe Date: Thu Jun 5 13:38:39 2014 -0600 block: add notion of a chunk size for request merging Some drivers have different limits on what size a request should optimally be, depending on the offset of the request. Similar to dividing a device into chunks. Add a setting that allows the driver to inform the block layer of such a chunk size. The block layer will then prevent merging across the chunks. This is needed to optimally support NVMe with a non-zero stripe size.
