Can you or Sarah verify that xhci-hcd > receives a request with more than 63 scatterlist elements when the > sg_tablesize value is 63? The value of max_sectors doesn't matter. In the tests I ran with the mass storage driver, setting max_sectors didn't matter, I always only got an sglist of no more than 63 TRBs (or 120 if I doubled the TRBS_PER_SEGMENT to 128). The four patches I tested with are on my xhci-large-tx branch if anyone is interested. I never saw the mass storage driver enqueue more sg entries than TRBS_PER_SEGMENT. It's just Ramya's driver that has this behavior. At this point, we can't tell what he's doing without his source code.
