Oh maybe I understand you. Yes, although this fixed patch was bug, but
the warning was triggered since the new discard alignment changes got
merged.

Hmm, maybe I should add the Fixes tag to commit b35fd7422c2f ("block:
check queue's limits.discard_granularity in __blkdev_issue_discard()").

How do you think of this commit id ?

Thanks.
