patch to limit max queue depth
This patch does following things:
- Change can_queue value of Scsi_Host from 0xfffff to REQUEST_ENTRY_CNT.
- Add static variable qla1280_max_queue_depth_limit.
Set qla1280_max_queue_depth_limit to REQUEST_ENTRY_CNT/16.
- If max_queue_depth parameter obtained from NVRAM exceeds the
qla1280_max_queue_depth_limit,
set max_queue_depth as qla1280_max_queue_depth_limit.
The qla1280 is unmaintained in the 2.4 kernel. The RHEL 3 release notes indicate this, and indicate that Red Hat only supports this driver on x86 platforms. As a result, changes to this driver are risky and of limited benefit. We are not planning to apply the requested patch to RHEL 3 for these reasons. |
