[RFC] blk: increase logical_block_size to unsigned int

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Mostly, zram is used as swap system on embedded world so it want to do IO
as PAGE_SIZE aligned/size IO unit. For that, one of the problem was
blk_queue_logical_block_size(zram->disk->queue, PAGE_SIZE) made overflow
in *64K page system* so [1] changed it to constant 4096.
Since that, partial IO can happen so zram should handle it which makes zram
complicated[2].

Now, I want to remove that partial IO handling logics in zram.

Block guys, Robert, Jerome:

Can't we extend q->limits.logical_block_size to unsigned int?
Is there any problem on that?

[1] 7b19b8d45b21, zram: Prevent overflow in logical block size
[2] 924bd88d703e, zram: allow partial page operations
