Yes - chunk_size_bytes is 0 here.

In dm_calculate_queue_limits, there's
blk_set_stacking_limits(limits);
- that will initialize the default limits (discard_granularity == 0)
Then, there's:
ti->type->iterate_devices(ti, dm_set_device_limits, &ti_limits);
- that will unify limits for all RAID legs (in this case, it sets
discard_granularity == 1024)
Then, there's
if (ti->type->io_hints) ti->type->io_hints(ti, &ti_limits);
And that will incorrectly overwrite discard_granularity with zero.

Well, you can add blk_stack_limits to raid_io_hints and use it to stack
the limits, but that would just complicate that function.
