[PATCH v2 0/4] Add blk_validate_block_size() helper for drivers to validate block size

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

 



The block layer can't support the block size larger than
page size yet, so driver needs to validate the block size
before setting it. Now this validation is done in device drivers
with some duplicated codes. This series tries to add a block
layer helper for it and makes loop driver, nbd driver and
virtio-blk driver use it.

V1 to V2:
- Return and print error if validation fails in virtio-blk driver

Xie Yongji (4):
  block: Add a helper to validate the block size
  nbd: Use blk_validate_block_size() to validate block size
  loop: Use blk_validate_block_size() to validate block size
  virtio-blk: Use blk_validate_block_size() to validate block size
