From: James Bottomley Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2008 16:00:10 +0000 (-0600) Subject: [SCSI] relax scsi dma alignment X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~1230^2~73 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=465ff3185e0cb76d46137335a4d21d0d9d3ac8a2;p=linux-2.6 [SCSI] relax scsi dma alignment This patch relaxes the default SCSI DMA alignment from 512 bytes to 4 bytes. I remember from previous discussions that usb and firewire have sector size alignment requirements, so I upped their alignments in the respective slave allocs. The reason for doing this is so that we don't get such a huge amount of copy overhead in bio_copy_user() for udev. (basically all inquiries it issues can now be directly mapped).
