higher level scsi code. Spls should never be conditionalized, so don't do so here. Restructure the get_scb routine so that we can't get into an infinite loop if the ccbs are exhausted and we are are called with SCSI_NOSLEEP set. Other driver maintainer's that based their scb allocation routines on Julian's code should look at these changes and implement them for their driver. The aic7xxx driver inspired these changes because early revs of the aic7770 chips have so few SCBs that you can actually run out. If you have a rev C or aic7770 (as is reported by the driver probe) and had more than 2 drives, you could get into an infinite loop when using up all of the SCBs. Since the driver will only allow two SCBs per device and I only had two devices, I never saw this problem on my Rev C card. Bzero only 19 bytes of the scb instead of 2k (ack!). This was a hold over from when a struct SCB only contained the information downloaded to the board, but we now store kernel driver data in there as well. This greatly lowers the overhead for small transactions (I get ~1MB/sec for dds with a 512 byte block size). Submitted by: John Dyson with the aic7xxx specific optimization by me |
