It is possible, albeit more unlikely, for a block device to have a non power-of-2 for chunk_sectors (e.g. 10+2 RAID6 with 128K chunk_sectors, which results in a full-stripe size of 1280K. This causes the RAID6's io_opt to be advertised as 1280K, and a stacked device _could_ then be made to use a blocksize, aka chunk_sectors, that matches non power-of-2 io_opt of underlying RAID6 -- resulting in stacked device's chunk_sectors being a non power-of-2). Update blk_queue_chunk_sectors() and blk_max_size_offset() to accommodate drivers that need a non power-of-2 chunk_sectors. Reviewed-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Martin K.

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.
