Subject: [patch] ibmvscsi.c: limit size of I/O requests, updated
Date: Fri, 31 Dec 2004 11:47:45 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041231174745.GA10894@cs.umn.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20041129203107.GB31011@cs.umn.edu>

Description: Limit the size of I/O requests sent by the 
ibmvscsi adapter.  With better I/O scheduling (and thus larger
requests) we were breaking some servers.

Updated based on comments from Jens Axboe and James
Bottomley to not specify max I/O sectors as a module
parameter, and subsequently not needlessly store
the value as a static variable.
