[PATCH] libata: Use Maximum Write Same Length to report discard size limit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Previously we used Maximum Unmap LBA Count in the Block Limits VPD to
signal the maximum number of sectors we could handle in a single Write
Same command.

Starting with SBC3r26 the Block Limits VPD has an explicit limit on the
number of blocks in a Write Same. This means we can stop abusing a field
related to the Unmap command and let our SAT use the proper value in the
VPD (Maximum Write Same Length).

Jeff: This is an important fix for discard. I missed this patch when I
originally submitted the thin provisioning updates for 2.6.39.
