Mike Snitzer 22ada802ed block: use lcm_not_zero() when stacking chunk_sectors
Like 'io_opt', blk_stack_limits() should stack 'chunk_sectors' using
lcm_not_zero() rather than min_not_zero() -- otherwise the final
'chunk_sectors' could result in sub-optimal alignment of IO to
component devices in the IO stack.

Also, if 'chunk_sectors' isn't a multiple of 'physical_block_size'
then it is a bug in the driver and the device should be flagged as
'misaligned'.

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.
