The driver allocates a sg list per io struture based on a fixed maximum size. When it registers with the protocol transports and indicates the max sg list size it supports, the driver manipulates the fixed value to report a lesser amount so that it has reserved space for sg elements that are used for DIF. The driver initialization path sets the cfg_sg_seg_cnt field to the manipulated value for scsi. NVME initialization ran afterward and capped it's maximum by the manipulated value for SCSI. This erroneously made NVME report the SCSI-reduce-for-DIF value that reduced the max io size for nvme and wasted sg elements. Rework the driver so that cfg_sg_seg_cnt becomes the overall maximum size and allow the max size to be tunable. A separate (new) scsi sg count is then setup with the scsi-modified reduced value. NVME then initializes based off the overall maximum. Signed-off-by: Dick Kennedy <dick.kennedy@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: James Smart <james.smart@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Martin K.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
