I have patch for code changes in this particular area and that is currently under internal test cycle. Next patch series will start using shared blk tag for internal MPT frame allocation. It will get-rid-off MPT frame pool link list completely and also does lots of refactor w.r.t MFI/MPT frame corruption issue. Using shared blk tag gave good performance improvement as driver completely removed mpt frame spin lock used in megasas_get_cmd_fusion/ megasas_return_cmd_fusion. ~ Kashyap -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
