This doesn't make sense to me. MRRS "sets the maximum Read Request
size for the Function as a Requester" (PCIe r5.0, sec 7.5.3.4).
The MRRS in the Device Control register is a 3-bit RW field (or a RO
field with value 000b). If it's RW, software is allowed to write any
3-bit value to it. There is no "maximum allowed value" for software
to detect.
The value software writes is only a *limit* on the Read Request size.
The hardware is never obligated to generate Read Requests of that max
size. If software writes 101b (4096 byte max size), and the hardware
only supports generating 128-byte Read Requests, there's no issue.
It's perfectly fine for the hardware to generate 128-byte requests.
Apparently something bad happens if software writes something "too
large" to MRRS? What actually happens?
If the problem is that the device generates a large Read Request and
in response, it receives a data TLP that is larger than it can handle,
that sounds like an MPS issue, not an MRRS issue.
Based on the existing loongson_mrrs_quirk(), it looks like this is a
long-standing issue. I'm sorry I missed this when reviewing the
driver in the first place. This all needs a much better explanation
of what the real problem is. The "h/w limitation of 256 bytes maximum
read request size" comment just doesn't make sense from the spec point
of view.
I do know that Linux uses MRRS and MPS in ... highly unusual ways, and
maybe we're tripping over that somehow. If so, we need to figure out
exactly how so we can make Linux's use of MPS and MRRS better overall.
