From 465ff3185e0cb76d46137335a4d21d0d9d3ac8a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Bottomley Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2008 10:00:10 -0600 Subject: [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).
