Hello Leon and Parav,

Since PCIe writes can be executed out of order, shouldn't that be mentioned
in Documentation/infiniband/out_of_order.txt? See also the documentation of
the Device Control Register and the Enable Relaxed
Ordering bit in the PCIe
spec.

Additionally, since not handling out-of-order RDMA writes correctly is an ULP
bug and since there are more ULPs that handle out-of-order writes correctly
than ULPs that don't handle out-of-order writes correctly, if a new flag is
introduced, shouldn't that be a flag to disable out-of-order writes?

Thanks,

Bart.--
