From 9bec3992312b8bb3aee71bd3b57d106a0a649479 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Olson Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2007 13:01:47 -0700 Subject: IB/ipath: Verify host bus bandwidth to chip will not limit performance There have been a number of issues where host bandwidth via HT or PCIe to the InfiniPath chip has been limited in some fashion (BIOS, configuration, etc.), resulting in user confusion. This check gives a clear warning that something is wrong and needs to be resolved.
