Block device drivers do not have to call blk_queue_max_hw_sectors() to set a limit on request size if the default limit BLK_SAFE_MAX_SECTORS is acceptable. However, this limit (255 sectors) may not be aligned to the device logical block size which cannot be used as is for a request maximum size. This is the case for the null_blk device driver. Modify blk_queue_max_hw_sectors() to make sure that the request size limits specified by the max_hw_sectors and max_sectors queue limits are always aligned to the device logical block size. Additionally, to avoid introducing a dependence on the execution order of this function with blk_queue_logical_block_size(), also modify blk_queue_logical_block_size() to perform the same alignment when the logical block size is set after max_hw_sectors.

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.
