[PATCH 5/8] resend cciss: disable DMA prefetch on P600

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



PATCH 5 of 8 resend

This patch unconditionally disables DMA prefetch on the P600 controller. A
bug in the ASIC may result in prefetching either beyond the end of memory
or to fall off into a memory hole.
Please consider this for inclusion.

Thanks,
mikem
