When running mke2fs against the make_request_fn based block driver
I'm working on, I'm seeing only single-block bios. Other such drivers
(e.g. nvme) are getting, for example, 4k bios coming in from the same
mke2fs command.
mke2fs /dev/sop0
This is on a 3.9-rc1 kernel.
I've tried setting:
blk_queue_max_hw_sectors(rq, 2048);
blk_queue_max_segments(rq, 32);
blk_queue_io_opt(rq, 4096);
blk_queue_io_min(rq, 4096);
blk_queue_physical_block_size(rq, 4096);
blk_queue_logical_block_size(h->rq, 512);
blk_queue_physical_block_size(h->rq, 4096);
all to no avail.
If I do this:
dd if=/dev/sop0 of=/dev/null bs=4k iflag=direct
with that, I can get 4k bios coming in to the make_request_fn.
Driver source is here: https://github.com/HPSmartStorage/scsi-over-pcie
(still a work in progress -- that source doesn't do all the blk_queue_*
settings mentioned above, those are just the things I've tried.)
In /sys/block/sop0/queue...

Any ideas what I'm missing to get I/O's bigger than 1 block to come in?
Thanks,
