[PATCH 02/16] block: add a queue_limits_stack_bdev helper

Christoph Hellwig hch at lst.de
Mon Feb 26 11:29:50 CET 2024


Add a small wrapper around blk_stack_limits that allows passing a bdev
for the bottom device and prints an error in case of misaligned
device. The name fits into the new queue limits API and the intent is
to eventually replace disk_stack_limits.
