Subject: dm cache metadata: do not allow the data block size to change
From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 048e5a07f282c57815b3901d4a68a77fa131ce0a upstream.
The block size for the dm-cache's data device must remained fixed for
the life of the cache. Disallow any attempt to change the cache's data
block size.
