Subject: [PATCH RFC] ahci: fix SB600 h/w errata issue
Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:43:48 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080228204348.GA30539@havoc.gtf.org> (raw)
I haven't seen anyone work on the recent SB600 errata, where the
hardware does not like 256-length PRD entries.
Is this correct, AMD folks?
It hurts performance on SB600, but it is more important to get a
correct patch eliminating the data corruption/lockups, and then later
on tune for performance.
We simply limit each command to a maximum of 255 sectors, on SB600.
