Subjectaic7xxx: Slow negotiation?
Hi,

The new aic7xxx driver (in 2.4.17, 2.5.1-pre1 and 2.5.6, at
least) negotiates only 11.626MB/s transfers from my disks.
The old one can extract 40MB/s transfers (though the disks
themselves can only do a little over 20MB/s each).

My adapter is an on-board one on my dual P3-450:

00:09.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AHA-2940U/UW / AHA-39xx / AIC-7895 (rev 04)
Subsystem: Adaptec AHA-2940U/2940UW Dual AHA-394xAU/AUW/AUWD AIC-7895B
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
I/O ports at d400 [size=256]
Memory at efffe000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Expansion ROM at effe0000 [disabled] [size=64K]
Capabilities: <available only to root>

00:09.1 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AHA-2940U/UW / AHA-39xx / AIC-7895 (rev 04)
Subsystem: Adaptec AHA-2940U/2940UW Dual AHA-394xAU/AUW/AUWD AIC-7895B
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
I/O ports at d800 [size=256]
Memory at effff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Capabilities: <available only to root>


The old driver says:

I do have a Tekram card in here as well:

00:10.0 SCSI storage controller: Tekram Technology Co.,Ltd. TRM-S1040 (rev 01)
Subsystem: Tekram Technology Co.,Ltd. TRM-S1040
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 19
I/O ports at d000 [size=256]
Memory at efffc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
Expansion ROM at effc0000 [disabled] [size=64K]
Capabilities: <available only to root>

But whether or not I remember to patch in the out-of-tree
driver doesn't seem to affect anything.

I've attached /proc/scsi/aic7xxx/0 from the old driver
(because that's what I happen to have booted at the
moment). Below is /proc/scsi/scsi.

Am I doing anything wrong or silly here?

Please let me know if there's anything else I can offer.

Cheers,
Matthew.
