If an invalid block size is provided, reject it instead of silently changing it to a supported value. Especially critical I see the case of a write transfer with block length 0. In this case we have no guarantee that the byte we would write is valid. When silently reducing a read to 32 bytes then we don't return an error and the caller may falsely assume that we returned the full requested data. If this change should break any (broken) caller, then I think we should fix the caller.

README
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 Restructured Text 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.
