Hi,

The 168 makes AHCI_CMD_TBL_SZ equal to 2816

AHCI_CMD_TBL_SZ = AHCI_CMD_TBL_HDR_SZ + (AHCI_MAX_SG * 16)
AHCI_CMD_TBL_SZ = 128 + (168 * 16)

I think if you add in AHCI_CMD_SLOT_SZ (1024) and AHCI_RX_FIS_SZ (256)
the DMA is 4K aligned, I think that is where the 168 came from.

Looks like the right guess. Though AHCI_PORT_PRIV_DMA_SZ is not:

AHCI_CMD_SLOT_SZ (1024) + AHCI_CMD_TBL_SZ (2816) + AHCI_RX_FIS_SZ (256) = 4096

but:

AHCI_CMD_SLOT_SZ (1024) + AHCI_CMD_TBL_AR_SZ (2816 * 32 = 90112) +
AHCI_RX_FIS_SZ (256) = 91392

and AHCI_PORT_PRIV_FBS_DMA_SZ is:

AHCI_CMD_SLOT_SZ (1024) + AHCI_CMD_TBL_AR_SZ (2816 * 32 = 90112) +
AHCI_RX_FIS_SZ * 16 (4096) = 95232


Yes, but in both cases mem_dma gets adjusted for AHCI_CMD_SLOT_SZ (1024)
and rx_fis_sz (256 or 4096 in fbs case).

Thanks,
