Martin K. Petersen 631669a256 scsi: sd: Optimal I/O size should be a multiple of reported granularity
Commit a83da8a450 ("scsi: sd: Optimal I/O size should be a multiple of
physical block size") validated the reported optimal I/O size against the
physical block size to overcome problems with devices reporting nonsensical
transfer sizes.

However, some devices claim conformity to older SCSI versions that predate
the physical block size being reported. Other devices do not report a
physical block size at all. We need to be able to validate the optimal I/O
size on those devices as well.

Many devices report an OPTIMAL TRANSFER LENGTH GRANULARITY in the same VPD
page as the OPTIMAL TRANSFER LENGTH. Use this value to validate the optimal
I/O size. Also check that the reported granularity is a multiple of the
physical block size, if supported.

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.
