A mirror of the official Linux kernel repository just in case

The discard_alignment queue limit is named a bit misleading means the
offset into the block device at which the discard granularity starts.
On the other hand the discard_sector_alignment from the virtio 1.1 looks
similar to what Linux uses as discard granularity (even if not very well
described):
"discard_sector_alignment can be used by OS when splitting a request
based on alignment. "
And at least qemu does set it to the discard granularity.
So stop setting the discard_alignment and use the virtio
discard_sector_alignment to set the discard granularity.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
