Subject: [PATCH v3 01/13] s390/dasd: Optimize max blocks per request for track alignment
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 15:47:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723134743.672413-2-sth@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260723134743.672413-1-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.
