Yes, something like xfs_inode_alloc_unitsize() there.

What's the upstream status for that change? I see it mentioned in 
linux-xfs lore and seems to be part of a mega patchset.

ok, fine.

Note that I was copying xfs_inode_forcealign() in terms of naming.

I wasn't supposed to delete that - will remedy.

I think that it is a reasonable comment about duplication the atomic 
writes checks for the bdev and iomap write paths - I can try to improve 
that.

But the is_power_of_2(mp->m_sb.sb_rextsize) check is to ensure that the 
extent size is suitable for enabling atomic writes. I don't see a point 
in checking the bdev queue limits here.

I am not sure what bdev_validate_atomic_write() would even do. If 
sb_rextsize exceeded the bdev atomic write unit max, then we just cap 
reported atomic write unit max in statx to that which the bdev reports 
and vice-versa.

And didn't we previously have a concern that it is possible to change 
the geometry of the device? If so, not much point in this check.

Thanks,
John
