Measurements for one particular UFS controller + UFS device show a 25% higher read bandwidth if the maximum data buffer size is increased from 512 KiB to 1 MiB. Hence increase the maximum size of the data buffer associated with a single request from SCSI_DEFAULT_MAX_SECTORS (1024) * 512 bytes = 512 KiB to 1 MiB. Notes: - The maximum data buffer size supported by the UFSHCI specification is 65535 * 256 KiB or about 16 GiB. - The maximum data buffer size for READ(10) commands is 65535 logical blocks. To transfer more than 65535 * 4096 bytes = 255 MiB with a single SCSI command, the READ(16) command is required. Support for READ(16) is optional in the UFS 3.1 and UFS 4.0 standards.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
