Hi,
Here is the new version of the patch for doing mostly PAGE_SIZE IO
for RAW (2.4.17). Here are the things that changed.
1) Inorder to address Jens Axboe and Ben LaHaise concerns, I followed
Andrea's suggestion and modified the patch to do variable size IO
only for the tested drivers/adaptors.
The patch will work only on the drivers which set "can_do_varyio"
bit in their SCSI Host template. Currently, I tested this on
QLOGIC, AIC adaptors. The hardware which has extra aligment
restrictions & drivers which can not handle variable buffer sizes
in a single IO can be safely excluded.
2) Limited the scope to only SCSI.
Thanks to Andrea, Jens, Ben & Alan for their valuable input.
Thanks,
Badari
