[PATCH v2] PCI: Document PCIE BUS MPS parameters

From: Yijing Wang
Date: Wed Jan 23 2013 - 21:58:53 EST


v0->v1: Update MPS parameters as non-arch and add MRRS
description into pcie_bus_perf parameter suggested
by Andrew Murray.
v1->v2: Update some semantic problems and add MPS and MRRS
explanation suggested by Joe Lawrence and Randy Dunlap.

Document PCIE BUS MPS parameters pcie_bus_tune_off, pcie_bus_safe,
pcie_bus_peer2peer, pcie_bus_perf into Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.
These parameters were introduced by Jon Mason <mason@xxxxxxxx> at
commit 5f39e6705 and commit b03e7495a8.

nobfsort Don't sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.

+ turning and using the BIOS-configured MPS defaults.
+ pcie_bus_safe Use the smallest common denominator MPS
+ of the entire tree below a root complex for every
+ device on that fabric. Can avoid inconsistent MPS
+ problem caused by hotplug.
+ pcie_bus_perf Configure pcie device MPS to the largest
+ allowable MPS based on its parent bus. Also set
+ MRRS (Max Read Request Size) to the largest supported
+ value (no larger than the MPS that the device or bus
+ can support) for Max performance.
+ pcie_bus_peer2peer Make the system-wide MPS the smallest
+ possible value (128B). This configuration could prevent
+ peer to peer DMA transmission from working by having
+ the MPS on one root port different than the MPS on
+ another.
cbiosize=nn[KMG] The fixed amount of bus space which is
reserved for the CardBus bridge's IO window.
The default value is 256 bytes.
