Yeah, you are right. I think that we can just use:
blk_queue_atomic_write_unit_max_sectors(disk->queue,
atomic_bs >> SECTOR_SHIFT);
Makes sense.
I still don't grok the difference between max_bytes and unit_max_sectors here.
(Maybe NVMe spec does not differentiate it?)
I think that max_bytes does not need to be a power-of-2 and could be
relaxed.
Having said that, max_bytes comes into play for merging of bios - so if
we are in a scenario with no merging, then may a well leave
atomic_write_max_bytes == atomic_write_unit_max.
But let us check this proposal to relax.
I assume min_sectors should be as follows instead of setting it to 1 (512 bytes)?
blk_queue_atomic_write_unit_min_sectors(disk->queue, bs >> SECTORS_SHIFT);
Yeah, right, we want unit_min to be the logical block size.
Thanks,
