+Subject: scsi: megaraid_sas: Do not use 32-bit atomic request descriptor for Ventura controllers
+
+From: Shivasharan S <shivasharan.srikanteshwara@broadcom.com>
+
+commit 9ff97fa8db94caeab59a3c5401e975df468b4d8e upstream.
+
+Problem Statement: Sending I/O through 32 bit descriptors to Ventura series of
+controller results in IO timeout on certain conditions.
+
+This error only occurs on systems with high I/O activity on Ventura series
+controllers.
+
+Changes in this patch will prevent driver from using 32 bit descriptor and use
+64 bit Descriptors.
