For block size larger than page size, the unit of efficient IO is the block size, not the page size. Leaving stat() to report PAGE_SIZE as the block size causes test programs like fsx to issue illegal ranges for operations that require block size alignment (e.g. fallocate() insert range). Hence update the preferred IO size to reflect the block size in this case. This change is based on a patch originally from Dave Chinner.[1] [1] https://lwn.net/ml/linux-fsdevel/20181107063127.3902-16-david@fromorbit.com/ Signed-off-by: Pankaj Raghav <p.raghav@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240822135018.1931258-9-kernel@pankajraghav.com Acked-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
