[06/30] block: Fix incorrect reporting of partition alignment

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Jan 20 2010 - 23:23:58 EST


2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: "Martin K. Petersen" <martin.petersen@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 81744ee44ab2845c16ffd7d6f762f7b4a49a4750 upstream

queue_sector_alignment_offset returned the wrong value which caused
partitions to report an incorrect alignment_offset. Since offset
calculation is needed several places it has been split into a separate
helper function.
