From aff132d95ffe14eca96cab90597cdd010b457af7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "nagalakshmi.nandigama@lsi.com" Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2011 07:53:08 +0530 Subject: [SCSI] mpt2sas : Fix for memory allocation error for large host credits The amount of memory required for tracking chain buffers is rather large, and when the host credit count is big, memory allocation failure occurs inside __get_free_pages. The fix is to limit the number of chains to 100,000. In addition, the number of host credits is limited to 30,000 IOs. However this limitation can be overridden this using the command line option max_queue_depth. The algorithm for calculating the reply_post_queue_depth is changed so that it is equal to (reply_free_queue_depth + 16), previously it was (reply_free_queue_depth * 2).
