      [SCSI] aic94xx: Increase can_queue for better performance · f19eaa7f
      Darrick J. Wong authored
      
      This patch sets can_queue in the aic94xx driver's scsi_host to better
      performing values than what's there currently.  It seems that
      asd_ha->seq.can_queue reflects the number of requests that can be
      queued per controller; so long as there's one scsi_host per
      controller, it seems logical that the scsi_host ought to have the same
      can_queue value.  To the best of my (still limited) knowledge, this
      method provides the correct value.
      
      The effect of leaving this value set to 1 is terrible performance in
      the case of either (a) certain Maxtor SAS drives flying solo or (b)
      flooding several disks with I/O simultaneously (md-raid).  There may be
      more scenarios where we see similar problems that I haven't uncovered.
