blk_stack_limits — adjust queue_limits for stacked devices
int blk_stack_limits ( | struct queue_limits * t, |
| struct queue_limits * b, | |
sector_t start); |
tthe stacking driver limits (top device)
bthe underlying queue limits (bottom, component device)
startfirst data sector within component device
This function is used by stacking drivers like MD and DM to ensure that all component devices have compatible block sizes and alignments. The stacking driver must provide a queue_limits struct (top) and then iteratively call the stacking function for all component (bottom) devices. The stacking function will attempt to combine the values and ensure proper alignment.
Returns 0 if the top and bottom queue_limits are compatible. The top device's block sizes and alignment offsets may be adjusted to ensure alignment with the bottom device. If no compatible sizes and alignments exist, -1 is returned and the resulting top queue_limits will have the misaligned flag set to indicate that the alignment_offset is undefined.
