[SCSI] qla1280: Fix queue depth problem
The qla1280 driver was ANDing the output value of mailbox register 0 with (1 << target-number) to determine whether to enable queueing on the target in question. But mailbox register 0 has the status code for the mailbox command (in this case, Set Target Parameters). Potential values are: /* * ISP mailbox command complete status codes */ So clearly that is in error. I can't think what the author of that line was looking for in a mailbox register, so I just eliminated the AND. flag is used later in the function, and I think that the later usage was also wrong, though it was used to set values that aren't used. Oh well, an overhaul of this driver is not what I want to do now -- just a bugfix. After the fix, I found that my disks were getting a queue depth of 255, which is far too many. Most SCSI disks are limited to 32 or 64. In any case, there's no point, queueing up a bunch of commands to the adapter that will just result in queue full or starve other targets from being issued commands due to running out of internal memory. So I dropped default queue depth to 32 (from which 1 is subtracted elsewhere, giving net of 31). I tested with a Seagate ST336753LC, and results look good, so I'm satisfied with this patch.
