      block: add notion of a chunk size for request merging · 762380ad
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Some drivers have different limits on what size a request should
      optimally be, depending on the offset of the request. Similar to
      dividing a device into chunks. Add a setting that allows the driver
      to inform the block layer of such a chunk size. The block layer will
      then prevent merging across the chunks.
      
      This is needed to optimally support NVMe with a non-zero stripe size.
