Subject[patch] SGIIOC4 limit request size
FromJes Sorensen <>
Date01 Feb 2006 03:59:16 -0500
Hi,

This one takes care of a problem with the SGI IOC4 driver where it
hits DMA problems if the request grows too large.

Cheers,
Jes

Avoid requests larger than the number of SG table entries, to avoid
DMA timeouts.
