What happens in your case? Does it not work, if you do not

I also require to modify the sil driver to avoid setting max RRQ to 4096
otherwise the data transfer over PCIe does not work. The RC responds with
"Unsupported Request" for read request of size greater than 256 bytes.
The other problem is, there is no way for peers to know that the other
device cannot handle RRQ of size beyond certain limit. At least I am not
aware of any bits in PCIe configuration space which advertise this. Do you
know of any such?
While, there is "Max RRQ size" field in device control register which only
controls outbound RRQ size.
This restriction probbaly will complicate more when the device with such
RRQ limitation is a EP, in such case, no one else than the EP (and its driver)
would know about this limitation and need to force others (including RC) to
reduce the max RRQ size.
Yes, I am agreed with you. I do not see any way to inform its peers about request
limit. So I think that a EP driver should not be allowed to call any function which
changes EP's RRQ size. It should always be RC driver which sets these values as
per max capability of the link.
Currently I am managing it with postinit hook of RC driver. But can be part of
common pci stack.
You can see my way of handling it at
