commit22ada802ed("block: use lcm_not_zero() when stacking chunk_sectors") broke chunk_sectors limit stacking. chunk_sectors must reflect the most limited of all devices in the IO stack. Otherwise malformed IO may result. E.g.: prior to this fix, ->chunk_sectors = lcm_not_zero(8, 128) would result in blk_max_size_offset() splitting IO at 128 sectors rather than the required more restrictive 8 sectors. And since commit07d098e6bb("block: allow 'chunk_sectors' to be non-power-of-2") care must be taken to properly stack chunk_sectors to be compatible with the possibility that a non-power-of-2 chunk_sectors may be stacked. This is why gcd() is used instead of reverting back to using min_not_zero().

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 Restructured Text 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.
