Subject: libata+SGIO:  is .dma_boundary respected?
Date: Sun, 19 Mar 2006 15:48:23 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <441DC397.9040504@rtr.ca> (raw)

Jens / Jeff,

Each libata driver registers a .dma_boundary field with SCSI.
This field is used to prevent merging of bio segments across
a hardware limitation boundary, usually 0xffff.

This looks like it works for regular block I/O,
but I'm not so sure about SGIO originated requests.

Any thoughts, or code you can point me to?

Thanks

Mark
