Hello Alexander, Could you get the LSI MegaRAID SATA 300-8X controller working for a long duration? Have you run any performance benchmark on it yet? How much bandwidth do you get with the controller? Thanks, Kallol [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.nucleodyne.com On Thu, 2005-06-09

Redundant memset in scsi_alloc_sgtable

2005-07-12 Thread Chen, Kenneth W
scsi_init_io calls scsi_alloc_sgtable and then calls blk_rq_map_sg to initialize the scatterlist structure. blk_rq_map_sg() already memset the structure for every new segment. That makes the memset in scsi_alloc_sgtable unnecessary. Patch to delete the extra memset in scsi_alloc_sgtable.
