New Revision: 228939
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/228939

Log:
  Set maximum I/O size for mps(4) to MAXPHYS. Looking into the code, I see
  no reason why it should be limited to 64K of DFLTPHYS. DMA data tag is
any
  way set to allow MAXPHYS, S/G lists (chain elements) are sufficient and
  overflows are also handled. On my tests even 1MB I/Os are working fine.

sorry for the late reply, but can we make in into tunable please? i
have in local tree

We can. but could you explain why? Have you found any problems this change?

     It would make it nice when dealing with different controllers -- a
similar example is that mfi(4) has a tunable called hw.mfi.max_cmds
which controls the I/O command queue size as not all MegaRAID cards
have the same I/O queue size capabilities.

Not many people care able to configure such low-level things. It means that if such configuration is needed, then either most of others will be in trouble or at least get suboptimal performance. If there are any way to avoid such tunables, I believe we should avoid them.
