[PATCH] block: report the correct discard alignment in sysfs

From: Avi Weiss

Date: Sat Oct 31 2026 - 06:20:45 EST


disk_discard_alignment_show() reports the physical I/O alignment offset
instead of the discard alignment. Devices can specify these offsets
independently, so the discard_alignment sysfs attribute can report the
wrong value.

Use bdev_discard_alignment() for the whole-disk attribute, as is already
done for partitions.
