You've set block_size to the literal 4096, then validate its value
immediately after? Am I missing some way this could ever be invalid?

Good catch. It is because I have a patch in the outbound queue that allows setting
the block size via a module parameter. The module parameter patch is not
upstream yet. Once I have that up, I will send the patch with the block
size config.

Do you think it is OK to have this redundancy? It would only be for a
few cycles.

It's fine, just wondering why it's there. But it also allows values like
1536 and 3584, which are not valid block sizes, so I think you want the
check to be:

if !(512..=4096).contains(&block_size) || ((block_size & (block_size - 1)) != 0)

Can't we overload .contains() to check only power-of-2 values?

Cheers,
