From 677eb9cd0ade65774665f67ca934b0829143c03a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Nyman Date: Fri, 7 Mar 2014 17:06:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "USBNET: ax88179_178a: enable tso if usb host supports sg dma" This reverts commit 9912f321f625e5daca91292c566d4c698865508b. This commit, together with commit 21a7c3dfabc2334e9f4d7a1665e6fbb4d215e31e "xhci 1.0: Limit arbitrarily-aligned scatter gather." were origially added to get xHCI 1.0 hosts and usb ethernet ax88179_178a devices working together with scatter gather. xHCI 1.0 hosts pose some requirement on how transfer buffers are aligned, setting this requirement for 1.0 hosts caused USB 3.0 mass storage devices to fail more frequently. USB 3.0 mass storage devices used to work before 3.14-rc1. Theoretically, the TD fragment rules could have caused an occasional disk glitch. Now the devices *will* fail, instead of theoretically failing. >From a user perspective, this looks like a regression; the USB device obviously fails on 3.14-rc1, and may sometimes silently fail on prior kernels. The proper soluition is to implement the TD fragment rules for xHCI 1.0 hosts, but for now, revert this patch until scatter gather can be properly supported.
