My concern is that blk_is_valid_logical_block_size() deviates from the regular block layer convention where the function to set a given queue limit will either adjust the passed value or print a warning. I guess I won't entirely object to having the actual check in a helper function that drivers with a peculiar initialization pattern can use. And then make blk_queue_logical_block_size() call that helper as well to validate the lbs. But I do think that blk_queue_logical_block_size() should be the preferred interface and that, where possible, drivers should be updated to check the return value of that. -- Martin K.

The problem is that most current users of blk_queue_logical_block_size (43 uses in the tree, out of which only 9 use constant block size) check for the block size relatively early, often store it in some internal struct etc, prior to calling blk_queue_logical_block_size thus making them only to rely on blk_queue_logical_block_size as the check for block size validity will need non-trivial changes in their code. Instead of this adding blk_is_valid_logical_block_size allowed me to trivially convert most of the uses. For RFC I converted only some drivers that I am more familiar with and/or can test but I can remove the driver's own checks in most other drivers with low chance of introducing a bug, even if I can't test the driver. What do you think? I can also both make blk_queue_logical_block_size return an error value, and have blk_is_valid_logical_block_size and use either of these checks, depending on the driver with eventual goal of un-exporting blk_is_valid_logical_block_size. Also note that I did add WARN_ON to blk_queue_logical_block_size. Best regards, Maxim Levitsky

Hmm, I wonder if we should simply add the check and warning to
blk_queue_logical_block_size and add an error in that case. Then
drivers only have to check the error return, which might add a lot
less boiler plate code.

[PATCH 02/10] block: virtio-blk: check logical block size
Linux kernel only supports logical block sizes which are power of two,
at least 512 bytes and no more that PAGE_SIZE.
Check this instead of crashing later on.
Note that there is no need to check physical block size since it is
only a hint, and virtio-blk already only supports power of two values.
