This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled

    block: fix alignment_offset math that assumes io_min is a power-of-2

to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree 
which can be found at:

 http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.16.y-queue

This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt2.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please 
reply to this email.

Subject: block: fix alignment_offset math that assumes io_min is a power-of-2

commit b8839b8c55f3fdd60dc36abcda7e0266aff7985c upstream.

The math in both blk_stack_limits() and queue_limit_alignment_offset()
assume that a block device's io_min (aka minimum_io_size) is always a
power-of-2.  Fix the math such that it works for non-power-of-2 io_min.

This issue (of alignment_offset != 0) became apparent when testing
dm-thinp with a thinp blocksize that matches a RAID6 stripesize of
1280K.  Commit fdfb4c8c1 ("dm thin: set minimum_io_size to pool's data
block size") unlocked the potential for alignment_offset != 0 due to
the dm-thin-pool's io_min possibly being a non-power-of-2.
