Subject: SFFDC and blksize_size
Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2003 13:12:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <37CC93E8710D@baydel.com> (raw)
I have been writing a block driver for SSFDC compliant SMC cards. This stuff
allocates 16k blocks. When I get requests the transfers are split into the
size I specifty in the blksize_size{MAJOR] array. It sems that most things
set this to 1k. In my case this causes a performance problem as I have to
end up doing 16 * (16K write, 16K read, 16k erase) to write and verify a
16k block which has been previously written.
I increased this size to 4k and now I only need 4 * this lot. !deally I would
like to do 1. However if I set the block size to 16k the module installation
crashes when I call register_disk.
I guess I could deal with the request queue myself but I would just like to
know if there is a 4k limit or I have some other bug.
Many Thanks
Simon.
