NAME

6       blk_queue_alignment_offset - set physical block alignment offset
7

SYNOPSIS

9       void blk_queue_alignment_offset(struct request_queue * q,
10                                       unsigned int offset);
11

ARGUMENTS

13       q
14           the request queue for the device
15
16       offset
17           alignment offset in bytes
18

DESCRIPTION

20       Some devices are naturally misaligned to compensate for things like the
21       legacy DOS partition table 63-sector offset. Low-level drivers should
22       call this function for devices whose first sector is not naturally
23       aligned.
