dnl # 2.6.30 API change
dnl #
dnl # The bdev_physical_block_size() interface was added to provide a way
dnl # to determine the smallest write which can be performed without a
dnl # read-modify-write operation. From the kernel documentation:
dnl #
dnl # What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/physical_block_size
dnl # Date: May 2009
dnl # Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
dnl # Description:
dnl # This is the smallest unit the storage device can write
dnl # without resorting to read-modify-write operation. It is
dnl # usually the same as the logical block size but may be
dnl # bigger. One example is SATA drives with 4KB sectors
dnl # that expose a 512-byte logical block size to the
dnl # operating system.
dnl #
dnl # Unfortunately, this interface isn't entirely reliable because
dnl # drives are sometimes known to misreport this value.
