Tejun,
I should have commented on this earlier. I still get occasional timeouts
regardless of the max_sectors settings. Yes, it's much much lower with
some settings vs others, but they're still there.
I was just messing around and did this. I still got the occasional timeouts.
#define BOBSEGS 64
static int inic_slave_config(struct scsi_device *sdev)
{
/* This controller is braindamaged. dma_boundary is 0xffff
* like others but it will lock up the whole machine HARD if
* 65536 byte PRD entry is fed. Reduce maximum segment size.
*/
struct ata_port *ap = ata_shost_to_port(sdev->host);
ata_sas_slave_configure(sdev,ap);
blk_queue_max_phys_segments(sdev->request_queue, BOBSEGS);
blk_queue_max_hw_segments(sdev->request_queue, BOBSEGS);
blk_queue_max_sectors(sdev->request_queue, BOBSEGS);
blk_queue_max_segment_size(sdev->request_queue, BOBSEGS*512);
return 0;
}
static struct scsi_host_template inic_sht = {
.sg_tablesize = BOBSEGS,
...
static void inic_dev_config(struct ata_port *ap, struct ata_device *dev)
{
/* inic can only handle upto LBA28 max sectors */
dev->max_sectors = BOBSEGS;
Sorry this isn't in diff format, but I think you can see what I did,
nonetheless.
Eventually, maybe I'll learn enough about something to be able to contribute.
Bob
