    dax: fix O_DIRECT I/O to the last block of a blockdev · e94f5a22
    Jeff Moyer authored
    commit bbab37dd (block: Add support for DAX reads/writes to
    block devices) caused a regression in mkfs.xfs.  That utility
    sets the block size of the device to the logical block size
    using the BLKBSZSET ioctl, and then issues a single sector read
    from the last sector of the device.  This results in the dax_io
    code trying to do a page-sized read from 512 bytes from the end
    of the device.  The result is -ERANGE being returned to userspace.
    
    The fix is to align the block to the page size before calling
    get_block.
    
    Thanks to willy for simplifying my original patch.
