From 9ce8e3073d9cfd6f859c22a25441db41b85cbf6e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2008 15:23:18 +0200 Subject: libata: add whitelist for devices with known good pata-sata bridges libata currently imposes a UDMA5 max transfer rate and 200 sector max transfer size for SATA devices that sit behind a pata-sata bridge. Lots of devices have known good bridges that don't need this limit applied. The MTRON SSD disks are such devices. Transfer rates are increased by 20-30% with the restriction removed. So add a "blacklist" entry for the MTRON devices, with a flag indicating that the bridge is known good.
