The commit titled "block/bdev: lift block size restrictions to 64k" lifted the block layer's max supported block size to 64k inside the helper blk_validate_block_size() now that we support large folios. However in lifting the block size we also removed the silly use cases many filesystems have to use sb_set_blocksize() to *verify* that the block size <= PAGE_SIZE. The call to sb_set_blocksize() was used to check the block size <= PAGE_SIZE since historically we've always supported userspace to create for example 64k block size filesystems even on 4k page size systems, but what we didn't allow was mounting them. Older filesystems have been using the check with sb_set_blocksize() for years. While, we could argue that such checks should be filesystem specific, there are much more users of sb_set_blocksize() than LBS enabled filesystem on upstream, so just do the easier thing and bring back the PAGE_SIZE check for sb_set_blocksize() users and only skip it for LBS enabled filesystems. This will ensure that tests such as generic/466 when run in a loop against say, ext4, won't try to try to actually mount a filesystem with a block size larger than your filesystem supports given your PAGE_SIZE and in the worst case crash.

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 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.
