Hi Martin, As per your suggestion I have modified the Warning message. Please review the change. Change Set: 1. Extended the upper boundary restriction for the module parameter max_sgl_entries. Earlier, the max_sgl_entries was capped at the SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS kernel definition. With this change, the user would be able to set the max_sgl_entries to any value which is greater than SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS and less than the minimum of SCSI_MAX_SG_CHAIN_SEGMENTS & hardware limit(Calculated using IOCFacts's MaxChainDepth). 2. Added a print for the message log whenever the user sets the max_sgl_entries to a value greater than SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS to warn about the kernel definition overriding.
