Hi!

commit af3c570fb0df422b4906ebd11c1bf363d89961d5 upstream.

Remove loop_validate_block_size() and use the block layer helper to validate block size.

This is just a cleanup, and it needs previous cleanup to be applied. I would not mind if both were dropped from stable series.

No, it is not a cleanup, it fixes a real bug as reported on the stable mailing list.

Thanks for explanation.
