forget it, found a commit message which explains it

e5bd71872b3b ("nvme/012,013,035: change fio I/O size and move size definition place")
  [...]
  Change fio I/O size of nvme/012,013,035 from 950m to 900m, since recent change
  increased the xfs log size and it caused fio failure with I/O size 950m.
