Subject: [SCSI] mpt2sas: Correct resizing calculation for max_queue_depth
From: Kashyap, Desai <[email protected]>
commit 11e1b961ab067ee3acaf723531da4d3f23e1d6f7 upstream.
The ioc->hba_queue_depth is not properly resized when the controller
firmware reports that it supports more outstanding IO than what can be fit
inside the reply descriptor pool depth. This is reproduced by setting the
controller global credits larger than 30,000. The bug results in an
incorrect sizing of the queues. The fix is to resize the queue_size by
dividing queue_diff by two.
