generic_atomic_write_valid() returns EINVAL for non-power-of-2 and for non-length-aligned writes. This check is used for block devices, ext4 and xfs, but neither ext4 nor xfs rely on power of 2 restrictions. For block devices, neither NVMe nor SCSI specification doesn't require length alignment and 2^N length. Both specifications only require to respect the atomic write boundary if it's set (NABSPF/NABO for NVMe and ATOMIC BOUNDARY for SCSI). NVMe subsystem already checks writes against this boundary; SCSI uses an explicit atomic write command so the write is checked by the drive itself. Signed-off-by: Vitaliy Filippov <[email protected]>
