[Bug 1576451] [NEW] Linux 4.4.0: wrong value for /sys/*/queue/discard_granularity

 

Public bug reported:

With kernel 4.4.0-21.37 in xenial and yakkety, the value of
queue/discard_granularity is set to '1' instead of to a multiple of the
block size as expected.

$ cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/queue/discard_granularity
1
$

This is at odds with the values on ramdisks:
$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/block/ram0/queue/discard_granularity
4096
$

And with lvm2 2.02.150-1ubuntu1, currently in yakkety-proposed, this
always results in an error message from lvremove if discard is
configured, and discard is not actually used; e.g., from my schroot
output:

E: 05lvm:   WARNING: Device /dev/sda7: queue/discard_granularity is 1
and is unexpectedly less than sector.

This bug has also been reported against Linux 4.4 in Fedora.
