Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] block/md/dm: set chunk_sectors from stacked dev stripe size
Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2025 08:37:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250618083737.4084373-1-john.g.garry@oracle.com> (raw)

This value in io_min is used to configure any atomic write limit for the
stacked device. The idea is that the atomic write unit max is a
power-of-2 factor of the stripe size, and the stripe size is available
in io_min.

Using io_min causes issues, as:
a. it may be mutated
b. the check for io_min being set for determining if we are dealing with
a striped device is hard to get right, as reported in [0].

This series now sets chunk_sectors limit to share stripe size.

Based on v6.16-rc2

Differences to RFC:
- sanitize chunk_sectors for atomic write limits
- set chunk_sectors in stripe_io_hints()

John Garry (5):
  block: sanitize chunk_sectors for atomic write limits
  md/raid0: set chunk_sectors limit
  md/raid10: set chunk_sectors limit
  dm-stripe: limit chunk_sectors to the stripe size
  block: use chunk_sectors when evaluating stacked atomic write limits
