6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Kamlesh Gurudasani <kamlesh@xxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 24cc57d8faaa4060fd58adf810b858fcfb71a02f ]
In the case where we are forcing the ps.chunk_size to be at least 1,
we are ignoring the caller's alignment.
Move the forcing of ps.chunk_size to be at least 1 before rounding it
up to caller's alignment, so that caller's alignment is honored.
While at it, use max() to force the ps.chunk_size to be at least 1 to
improve readability.
