Hi All, Currently the MPT Fusion drivers set DMA Mask to 64 bit if the architecture of the system is 64bit and if the hardware supports 64 bit DMA address. Also in all 64 bit systems the fusion drivers use SGESimple64_t to send scatter gather elements to firmware. Even with 64 bit systems which has available memory less than 4GB the SGESimple64_t is used, to increase the performance I am thinking of modifying the driver to check the system memory in the system using the function si_meminfo() and if the memory is less than 4GB, then the driver will set the 32 bit DMA mask and will use SGESimple32_t to send the SGE to firmware. I am not sure whether this change works fine? I couldn't see any SCSI driver using the si_meminfo and this function seems not to return the physical layout of the memory.
