The kernel requires a power of two for boundaries because that's the only way it can efficiently split commands that cross them. A controller, however, may report a non-power of two boundary. The driver had been rounding the controller's value to one the kernel can use, but splitting on the wrong boundary provides no benefit on the device side, and incurs additional submission overhead from non-optimal splits. Don't provide any boundary hint if the controller's value can't be used and log a warning when first scanning a disk's unreported IO boundary. Since the chunk sector logic has grown, move it to a separate function. Cc: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Martin K.

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.
