Subject: sector size, scsi_malloc(), sglist and queuecommand()?
Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2002 15:24:17 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D0A42E1.D0EC574B@splentec.com> (raw)
scsi_malloc() allocates with granularity of 512 bytes.
What happens when the device sector size is larger than 512?
i.e.
What is the size of a single scatterlist->length before it
is passed to queuecommand()?
I suppose a mutiple of the device sector size, which in turn
should be a mutiple of 512...
What happens when the request size is _not_ a multiple of 512.
Thanks,
