This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled block: fix alignment_offset math that assumes io_min is a power-of-2 to the 3.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: block-fix-alignment_offset-math-that-assumes-io_min-is-a-power-of-2.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From b8839b8c55f3fdd60dc36abcda7e0266aff7985c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2014 18:26:13 -0400 Subject: block: fix alignment_offset math that assumes io_min is a power-of-2 From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx> commit b8839b8c55f3fdd60dc36abcda7e0266aff7985c upstream. The math in both blk_stack_limits() and queue_limit_alignment_offset() assume that a block device's io_min (aka minimum_io_size) is always a power-of-2. Fix the math such that it works for non-power-of-2 io_min. This issue (of alignment_offset != 0) became apparent when testing dm-thinp with a thinp blocksize that matches a RAID6 stripesize of 1280K. Commit fdfb4c8c1 ("dm thin: set minimum_io_size to pool's data block size") unlocked the potential for alignment_offset != 0 due to the dm-thin-pool's io_min possibly being a non-power-of-2.
