Currently, a namespace io_opt queue limit is set by default to the
physical sector size of the namespace and to the the write optimal
size (NOWS) when the namespace reports optimal IO sizes. This causes
problems with block limits stacking in blk_stack_limits() when a
namespace block device is combined with an HDD which generally do not
report any optimal transfer size (io_opt limit is 0). The code:
/* Optimal I/O a multiple of the physical block size? */
if (t->io_opt & (t->physical_block_size - 1)) {
t->io_opt = 0;
t->misaligned = 1;
ret = -1;
}
in blk_stack_limits() results in an error return for this function when
the combined devices have different but compatible physical sector
sizes (e.g. 512B sector SSD with 4KB sector disks).
Fix this by not setting the optimal IO size queue limit if the namespace
does not report an optimal write size value.
