[PATCH v2 2/8] block: Support configuring limits below the page size

Bart Van Assche
2022-11-23T20:58:22Z

Allow block drivers to configure the following if
CONFIG_BLK_SUB_PAGE_SEGMENTS=y:
* Maximum number of hardware sectors values smaller than
PAGE_SIZE >> SECTOR_SHIFT. With PAGE_SIZE = 4096 this means that values
below 8 become supported.
* A maximum segment size smaller than the page size. This is most useful
for page sizes above 4096 bytes.

The behavior of the block layer is not modified if
CONFIG_BLK_SUB_PAGE_SEGMENTS=n.
