Hi,
the attached patch fixes part of the DMA problems we see with multiple
disks and the sgiwd93.c with DISCONNECTs. Klaus patch formerly just
disabled all DMA replacing it with PIO which is a major performance hit.
This patch simply deletes all the HPC Scatter/Gather stuff thus we will
see a couple more interrupts due to all segments beeing transferred
individually. The transfer itself still happens with the HPC DMA thus
the performance impact will not be that large. I am running a test right
now but it seems the error is gone.
This also touches the wd33c93.c generic part which brings us closer to
mainstream as these to lines are a difference between the sgi/mips tree
and the mainline kernel as we would need this kind of modification if
we would do the scatter-gather DMA.
