[PATCH 3.15 097/109] dm cache metadata: do not allow the data block size to change

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 048e5a07f282c57815b3901d4a68a77fa131ce0a upstream.

The block size for the dm-cache's data device must remained fixed for
the life of the cache.  Disallow any attempt to change the cache's data
block size.
