Thanks, I will keep an eye on it. > From a quick look, fw-sbp2 uses scsi-ml in a different way so it would > be a bit trick to configure the maximum sg element length. > > You call dma_map_sg with pci_dev::dev but don't call scsi_add_host > with pci_dev::dev. > > If you set the maximum sg element length to pci_dev::dev, and then > call scsi_add_host with it, the block layer and the IOMMU send you > proper size sg elements. At the moment, the Scsi_Host instances map 1:1 to SBP-2 target instances. I have to think about whether we can map it to FireWire controller instances instead. (Besides, the s/g element length limitation is actually a limitation of the SBP-2 protocol, not of FireWire PCI cards.) -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--- ---= =--== http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
