I guess you mean SCSIBlockLimits.min_io_size which is the only uint16_t
field there, do you?

> 2/ It seems hw/block/virtio-blk.c can get underflow now.

Both SCSIBlockLimits.min_io_size and virtio_blk_config.min_io_size are
expressed in logical blocks so there appears to be no problem here.

The width of this field in the device's config space is defined in the
spec and can't be changed.

Nor is there any need due to this patch.

Thanks,
Roman.
