Hi James, We had some performance problems with RAID systems connected to LPe12k. AFAICS, the reason is a small bug in lpfc.ko, causing the IO-size to be smaller than expected. The patch below fixes it for us. Please CC me, I'm not on the list. Best regards Bodo ------------------------------------------------------ From: Bodo Stroesser <bstroesser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 29 May 2015 13:34:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] lpfc: in sli3 use configured sg_seg_cnt for sg_tablesize Currently the module parameter lpfc_sg_seg_count does not have effect for sli3 devices. In lpfc_sli_driver_resource_setup(), which is used for sli3, the code writes the configured sg_seg_cnt into lpfc_template.sg_tablesize. But lpfc_template is the template used for sli4 only. Thus the value should correctly be written to lpfc_template_s3->sg_tablesize. This patch is for kernel 4.1-rc5, but is tested with lpfc 10.2.405.26 only.
