Subject: [PATCH v3] fs/buffer: remove the min and max limit checks in
__getblk_slow()
Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2025 10:37:04 +0200

All filesystems will already check the max and min value of their block
size during their initialization. __getblk_slow() is a very low-level
function to have these checks. Remove them and only check for logical
block size alignment.
