Martijn Coenen 85560117d0 loop: change queue block size to match when using DIO
The loop driver assumes that if the passed in fd is opened with
O_DIRECT, the caller wants to use direct I/O on the loop device.
However, if the underlying block device has a different block size than
the loop block queue, direct I/O can't be enabled. Instead of requiring
userspace to manually change the blocksize and re-enable direct I/O,
just change the queue block sizes to match, as well as the io_min size.

README

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.
