Currently, the mpt3sas driver sets the default queue depth based on the physical interface of the attached device: - SAS : 254 - SATA: 32 - NVMe: 128 The IOC firmware provides a recommended queue depth for each device through SAS IO Unit Page1 for SAS/SATA and PCIe IO Unit Page 1 for NVMe devices. If the host sets the queue depth greater than the firmware recommended value, then the IOC places the I/Os above the recommended queue depth in an internal pending queue. This consumes outstanding host-credit/resources, thereby leading to potential starvation of other devices. To avoid this, use the device depth recommended by the IOC firmware.

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.
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.
