The patch titled Subject: block: require write_same and discard requests align to logical block size has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is block-require-write_same-and-discard-requests-align-to-logical-block-size.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/block-require-write_same-and-discard-requests-align-to-logical-block-size.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/block-require-write_same-and-discard-requests-align-to-logical-block-size.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Darrick J. Wong" <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: block: require write_same and discard requests align to logical block size Make sure that the offset and length arguments that we're using to construct WRITE SAME and DISCARD requests are actually aligned to the logical block size. Failure to do this causes other errors in other parts of the block layer or the SCSI layer because disks don't support partial logical block writes.
