[PATCH v2 2/5] block: Validate logical block size in blk_validate_limits()

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

 



Some drivers validate that their own logical block size. It is no harm to
always do this, so validate in blk_validate_limits().

This allows us to remove the validation in most of those drivers.

Add a comment to blk_validate_block_size() to inform users that self-
validation of LBS is usually unnecessary.
