From e8b3b5e9f54512bfdb7c154da07ec0408cbd6c56 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2008 14:26:54 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] sata_sil24: configure max read request size to 4k Due to request posting limitations, bandwidth of sil3132 is limited to around 120MB/s with the minimum pci-e payload size (128bytes) which is used by most consumer systems. However, write throughput can be slightly (~3%) increased by increasing the max read requeset size. Configure it to 4k which is the maximum supported. This optimization is also done by SIMG's windows driver.
