From 40f6b36c6243462fb95d0343237331c423494b03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kai Makisara Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2008 22:23:24 +0200 Subject: [SCSI] st: add option to use SILI in variable block reads Add new option MT_ST_SILI to enable setting the SILI bit in reads in variable block mode. If SILI is set, reading a block shorter than the byte count does not result in CHECK CONDITION. The length of the block is determined using the residual count from the HBA. Avoiding the REQUEST SENSE command for every block speeds up some real applications considerably.
