[RFC v2 09/11] block/bdev: lift block size restrictions and use common definition

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

 



We now can support blocksizes larger than PAGE_SIZE, so lift
the restriction up to the max supported page cache order and
just bake this into a common helper used by the block layer.

We bound ourselves to 64k as a sensible limit. The hard limit,
however is 1 << (PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER).
