The loop driver currently uses the logical block size of the underlying bdev as the lower bound of the loop device block size. While this works for many cases, it fails for file systems made up of multiple devices with different logical block sizes (e.g. XFS with a RT device that has a larger logical block size), or when the file systems doesn't support direct I/O writes at the sector size granularity (e.g. because it does out of place writes with a file system block size larger than the sector size). Fix this by querying the minimum direct I/O alignment from statx when available.

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.
