[PATCH v2 24/24] ext4: enable block size larger than page size
From: libaokun
Date: Fri Nov 07 2025 - 09:51:30 EST
From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@xxxxxxxxxx>
Since block device (See commit 3c20917120ce ("block/bdev: enable large
folio support for large logical block sizes")) and page cache (See commit
ab95d23bab220ef8 ("filemap: allocate mapping_min_order folios in the page
cache")) has the ability to have a minimum order when allocating folio,
and ext4 has supported large folio in commit 7ac67301e82f ("ext4: enable
large folio for regular file"), now add support for block_size > PAGE_SIZE
in ext4.
set_blocksize() -> bdev_validate_blocksize() already validates the block
size, so ext4_load_super() does not need to perform additional checks.
Here we only need to add the FS_LBS bit to fs_flags.
In addition, allocation failures for large folios may trigger warn_alloc()
warnings. Therefore, as with XFS, mark this feature as experimental.
