PCIe spec 5.0 r1.0 section 2.2.6.2 says that if an Endpoint supports
sending Requests to other Endpoints (as opposed to host memory), the
Endpoint must not send 10-Bit Tag Requests to another given Endpoint
unless an implementation-specific mechanism determines that the Endpoint
supports 10-Bit Tag Completer capability. Add a 10bit_tag sysfs file,
write 0 to disable 10-Bit Tag Requester when the driver does not bind
the device if the peer device does not support the 10-Bit Tag Completer.
This will make P2P traffic safe. the 10bit_tag file content indicate
current 10-Bit Tag Requester Enable status.

Is this the same as "if (enable)"?
Yes, Will fix.

I actually don't like the one-way nature of this.  When the hierarchy
supports 10-bit tags, we automatically enable them during enumeration.

Then we provide this sysfs file, but it can only *disable* 10-bit
tags.  There's no way to re-enable them except by rebooting (or using
setpci, I guess).

Why can't we allow *enabling* them here if they're supported in this
hierarchy?
Yes, we can also provide this sysfs to enable 10-bit tag for EP devices
when the hierarchy supports 10-bit tags.

I do not want to provide sysfs to enable/disable 10-bit tag for RP
devices as I can not tell current if the the Function has outstanding
Non-Posted Requests, may need to unbind all the EP drivers under the
RP, and current seems no scenario need to do this. This will make things
more complex.

You mean "no scenario requires disabling 10-bit tags and then
re-enabling them"?
Just for Root Port devices.
That may be true, but I'm still hesitant to
provide a switch than can only be reversed by rebooting.

This is similar to the issue Leon raised that it's not practical to
reboot machines.  Maybe we accept a one-way switch if the sole purpose
is to work around a hardware defect.  Or maybe a kernel parameter that
disables 10-bit tags completely is the defect mitigation.  I think we
probably need such a parameter in case a defect prevents us from
booting far enough to use the sysfs switch.
Make sense, will provide sysfs to enable and disable 10-bit tag.

Thanks,
Dongdong
