Subject: [PATCH 2/9] SQUASHME: pmem: Request from fdisk 4k alignment
Date: Tue, 09 Sep 2014 18:41:47 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <540F1FBB.2000706@plexistor.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <540F1EC6.4000504@plexistor.com>

From: Boaz Harrosh <boaz@plexistor.com>

Because of the direct_access() API which returns a PFN. partitions
better start on 4K boundary, else offset ZERO of a partition will
not be aligned and blk_direct_access() will fail the call.

By setting blk_queue_physical_block_size(PAGE_SIZE) we can communicate
this to fdisk and friends.
Note that blk_queue_physical_block_size() also trashes io_min, but
we can leave this one to be 512.
