Hi!
Recently I tried to figure out in 2.5.65, why throughput on my disk which
hangs on Silicon Image 680 dropped to 1/4 compared to 2.4.21-pre5, but didn't
found anything useful. Are there any known issues with this driver?
Comparing those two drivers - they are exactly the same. Cabling is OK
(with 80w cable), the driver correctly detects this (checked with this simple
patch:

The same code in both cases. Its quite likely the problem is higher up in
the block or filesystem layer. It might also be a general IDE layer bug
What does performance look like on your other disk between
2.4.21pre/2.5.65 ?

Will test it as I come back home (it's on my home machine). But I think this
performance drop is only on the SiI680 interface.

Back in late 2.5.4x (or was it early 2.5.5x ?) I tried
#undef CONFIG_TRY_MMIO_SIIMAGE but nothing has changed (now there's no such
symbol defined in siimage.c - gone in 2.5.63).

Tested today: on the other disk on integrated interface (piix) is throughput
exactly the same on both kernels.

I put my eyes on /etc/rc.d/* and found hdparm doing some magic; then I tried
to fiddle with its params and came to this: the problem lied in fs readahead
(hdparm -a xxx). Tried various numbers:
fs readahead throughput in 2.5.66 throughput in 2.4.21-pre6
-----------------------------------------------------------------
0 11.94 MB/sec 40.00 MB/sec
8 12.01 MB/sec 38.79 MB/sec

40 15.20 MB/sec 39.02 MB/sec
48 15.26 MB/sec 40.00 MB/sec
56 17.60 MB/sec 40.25 MB/sec

72 17.32 MB/sec 40.00 MB/sec
80 18.34 MB/sec 40.25 MB/sec
88 18.72 MB/sec 40.25 MB/sec
96 16.04 MB/sec 39.26 MB/sec
104 16.68 MB/sec 40.25 MB/sec
112 18.25 MB/sec 39.02 MB/sec
120 18.42 MB/sec 40.00 MB/sec
128 19.17 MB/sec 39.26 MB/sec
136 26.67 MB/sec 40.00 MB/sec
144 39.31 MB/sec 39.51 MB/sec

160 39.68 MB/sec 40.25 MB/sec
168 39.98 MB/sec 40.25 MB/sec
176 39.85 MB/sec 40.51 MB/sec
184 40.18 MB/sec 40.00 MB/sec
So I disabled setting fs readahead (the default values are O.K.). Seems
like setting fs readahead doesn't make any change on 2.4 kernels.

There should be a mode or a flag option in the siimage.h to disable MMIO
by default. I am courious if this is a BARRIER on the read/write screwing
the pooch!
