Hi Ngie, The note isn't bogus, it's just not what you think it is=E2=80=94the limit = is in the ioat_test code, not a limit of the hardware. Before this commit which documented it (r289733), the limit *was* 4. However, in the same commit I bumped the limit up to 128 (IOAT_MAX_BUFS / 2). (I suspect I wrote the documentation first, before deciding to raise the limit.) So the current limit is 128, and should be documented. Thanks, Conrad
