From 72deb455b5ec619ff043c30bc90025aa3de3cdda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2019 18:08:59 +0200 Subject: block: remove CONFIG_LBDAF Currently support for 64-bit sector_t and blkcnt_t is optional on 32-bit architectures. These types are required to support block device and/or file sizes larger than 2 TiB, and have generally defaulted to on for a long time. Enabling the option only increases the i386 tinyconfig size by 145 bytes, and many data structures already always use 64-bit values for their in-core and on-disk data structures anyway, so there should not be a large change in dynamic memory usage either. Dropping this option removes a somewhat weird non-default config that has cause various bugs or compiler warnings when actually used.
