      [SCSI] enable clustering for tmscsim · 8f6fd19f
      Guennadi Liakhovetski authored
      following an email from John Adams <johna@onevista.com> to me with a patch
      to enable tmscsim to use blocks up to 1MB and a discussion on linux-scsi,
      below is a patch to enable clustering for tmscsim. I made it switchable
      with a module parameter, with default "enable" - in case somebody gets
      problems with it. Unfortunately, I was not able to check if this alone
      lets you use any bigger blocks with a tape, as my tape seems to only
      support 1 block size - only "mt setblk 1" is successful, any other value
      fails. OTOH, testing on a P-133 showed that enabling clustering alone
      improves throughput by 10% and reduces CPU load by another 10%, so, seems
      a worthy thing to do. As for setting max_sectors, that might become a
      separate patch...
