Oddities in brd queue limits

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

 



Hi Christoph,

brd ends up with the following queue limits:

optimal_io_size: 0
minimum_io_size: 4096
hw_sector_size: 512
physical_block_size: 4096

which I find particularly odd; how can the minimum I/O size be _larger_ than the hw_sector_size? Wouldn't that imply that we can only send I/O in units of physical block size, rendering the hw_sector_size pretty much pointless?

Or what is the idea here?

Btw, I would have expected brd to set 'optimal_io_size' to 4k, and
minimum_io_size to 512 bytes. Which would've been an alternative fix.

Cheers,

Hannes
