Hello Bryant,

The old limit was intended to be 128 * 4 KB = 512 KB. The new limit is 16 *
64 KB = 1024 KB. Is that intended?

Do I understand correctly that the max_txu value is independent of the page
size? If so, have you considered to introduce a #define for the max_mtu
value that specifies max_mtu as a number instead of as a multiple of the
page size? At least in the SLES 10 SP3 ibmvscsis.c code max_mtu was not
defined as a multiple of the page size.

Thanks,

Bart.--
