Currently, a namespace io_opt queue limit is set by default to the physical sector size of the namespace and to the the write optimal size (NOWS) when the namespace reports this value. This causes problems with block limits stacking in blk_stack_limits() when a namespace block device is combined with an HDD which generally do not report any optimal transfer size (io_opt limit is 0). The code: /* Optimal I/O a multiple of the physical block size? */ if (t->io_opt & (t->physical_block_size - 1)) { t->io_opt = 0; t->misaligned = 1; ret = -1; } results in blk_stack_limits() to return an error when the combined devices have different but compatible physical sector sizes (e.g. 512B sector SSD with 4KB sector disks). Fix this by not setting the optiomal IO size limit if the namespace does not report an optimal write size value.
