From fbf6080225a03aa2b3671acacebdf615f1d3f6ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ju, Seokmann" Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2006 08:44:48 -0600 Subject: [SCSI] megaraid_{mm,mbox}: 64-bit DMA capability checker This patch contains - a fix for 64-bit DMA capability check in megaraid_{mm,mbox} driver. - includes changes (going back to 32-bit DMA mask if 64-bit DMA mask failes) suggested by James with previous patch. - addition of SATA 150-4/6 as commented by Vasily Averin. With patch, the driver access PCIconfiguration space with dedicated offset to read a signature. If the signature read, it means that the controller has capability to handle 64-bit DMA. Without this patch, the driver used to blindly claim 64-bit DMA capability. The issue has been reported by Vasily Averin [vvs@sw.ru]. Thank you Vasily for the reporting.

Earlier, it was off by default and had to be enabled via a boot time param. This patch reverses the default behaviour to improve coverage testing. It can be removed late in the kernel development cycle if its believed users shouldn't have to incur any cost if they don't want delay accounting. Or it can be retained forever if the utility of the stats is deemed common enough to warrant keeping the feature on.
