Linux 6.9 made the nvme multipath nodes not properly pick up changes when the LBA size goes smaller after an nvme format. This is because we now try to inherit the queue settings for the multipath node entirely from the individual paths. That is the right thing to do for I/O size limitations, which make up most of the queue limits, but it is wrong for changes to the namespace configuration, where we do want to pick up the new format, which will eventually show up on all paths once they are re-queried. Fix this by not inheriting the block size and related fields and always for updating them.

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 reStructuredText 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.
