Currently we dont't update device's mps vaule when doing
pci device hot-add. The hot-added device's mps will be set
to default value (128B). But the upstream port device's mps
may be larger than 128B which was set by firmware during
system bootup. In this case the new added device may not
work normally.

Hi Bjorn and Jon,
   I'm sorry to disturb you. This patch is sent so long, but nobody seems had comment about it.
Do you have any comment with this patch?

This patch try to update device mps in following case:
1) target device under root port
   Because root port can split TLP, so target device mps greatr than root port mps is ok.
   But if root port mps greater than target device mps, it's bad, because target device cannot
   receive TLP payload size greater than its MPS. So if a target device under a root port, I think
   we should assign its mps greater than or equal root port mps.
2) target device under non root port
   We assume the target device both is a transmitter and receiver, so the safest way is to assign target
   device mps equal to its parent device.

Any comments about this patch is welcome!

Thanks!
Yijing.

Thanks, I just started reviewing this patch, and your notes above are
exactly the question I was going to ask.  The comments in
pcie_bus_update_set() only tell me what the code does.  I can read the
C code just fine; what we need there is the explanation about *why* we
handle devices below root ports differently than others.  Maybe we can
adapt some of your notes as comments in the code.

Do you have references to the spec where it talks about this
difference?  I want to make sure we can rely on the fact that a root
port can accept TLPs larger than its MPS.

Hi Bjorn,
   Thanks for your review and comments!

PCIe Spec does not explicitly mention this issue, we can only get the message that
root port/ root complex can split the TLP into smaller packets. For instance
one 256B packet split into two 128B packet.

I confirm this issue in my X86 machine and IA64 machine.
1. I unload NIC driver to make sure the safety during  change the NIC MPS.
2. Use setpci change NIC MPS to the max value it supports.
3. Reload the NIC driver
4. Ping and use scp cpoy large file bwtween machines. Result is ok.

The fact that it works on two pieces of hardware is not enough to be
confident that it will work on all spec-conforming hardware.  Maybe we
can deduce this from something in the spec, but I'll have to dig into
it more tomorrow.  I just hoped that you had a spec reference that
could save me some time.

Just as a way to confirm that the MPS change is actually doing
something, I assume you observe a performance difference between
MPS=128 and MPS=512 on the NIC (and the root port MPS=128 in both
cases)?  Or maybe you can confirm with an analyzer that there are
actually 512-byte TLPs on the link?

I assume there are no AER or other errors logged by the root port?
The test you showed was a copy *to* the local machine, so the NIC
would have been doing DMA writes to memory.  I assume it works equally
well doing a copy *from* the local machine to another machine across
the network, where the NIC is doing DMA reads from memory?

The only mention I can find in the spec is sec 1.3.1, where it says "a
Root Complex is generally permitted to split a packet into smaller
packets when routing transactions peer-to-peer between hierarchy
domains ..."

I'm not a hardware guy (I often wish I were :)), but here's how I
interpret that statement.  Let's take the following example:

  00:01.0 Root port bridge to [bus 01] MPS=128
  01:00.1 Endpoint MPS=512

  00:02.0 Root Port bridge to [bus 02] MPS=256
  00:03.0 Root Port bridge to [bus 03] MPS=128
  02:00.0 Endpoint MPS=256
  03:00.0 Endpoint MPS=128

If 02:00.0 (MPS=256) generates a DMA write destined for 03:00.0, it
may transmit a TLP with a data payload of 256 bytes, and 00:02.0
(MPS=256 also) will accept it.  The root complex may route the packet
to 00:03.0 (MPS=128), and here it would need to be split into two
128-byte TLPs before being transmitted by 00:03.0 to 03:00.0
(MPS=128).

Your situation is basically 01:00.1 (MPS=512) doing a DMA write
destined for memory and sending a 512-byte TLP to 00:01.0 (MPS=128).
In this case, the root complex isn't doing any peer-to-peer routing
between hierarchy domains, so I don't think the statement in sec 1.3.1
applies.  So I don't understand why the root port would accept that
TLP.  I would think it would report a malformed TLP error.

Hi Bjorn,
   I didn't observe a performance difference between MPS=128 and MPS=512. I use ping $dest_ip -s 65500(large size packet)
to test the different situations.

1. root port MPS = 128, EP MPS = 256.

root port --------Endpoint device
00:01.0           01:00.1

In this case, I use ping in the local machine, and result is ok.
linux:~ # ping 128.5.160.28 -s 65500

2. root port MPS = 256, EP MPS = 128.
In this case, use "ping $dest_ip -s 65500" to test, but result is fail.

So I guess the packet size during ping is larger than 128, EP device discard these TLPs.

I have no analyzer to catch the TLP packets. So I can not Guarantee this conclusion(EP MPS larger than Root port is 100% safe).

Yes, AER is not support in local machine.

Yes, I tested in both copy direction, and result is ok.

Hmmm, PCIe Spec does not involve too much about MPS setting. So maybe different platform
has different strategy.

Conservatively, as a improvement for mps setting after hotplug. I think update mps setting equal to its parent
make sense. This is no harm to other devices, we only modify the hotplug device itself mps register.

So if you agree, I will update my patch ,only try to modify hotplug device mps, make them equal to its parent.

Thanks!
Yijing.

Interesting.  "ping" is probably not a good way to see performance
differences, but hopefully you could see a difference in *some*
scenario.  Otherwise, there's not much point in increasing MPS :)

Per the 5520/5500 spec, it does support AER (sec 19.11.5).  Maybe
there's some platform support required in addition.  You might still
be able to see some info just with "lspci -vv"

I think there's enough in the spec to tell us what we need to do (this
is sec 2.2.2):

  - A Transmitter must not send a TLP larger than its Max_Payload_Size
  - A Receiver must treat TLPs larger than its Max_Payload_Size as malformed

The only way I can see to guarantee that is to set the MPS on both
ends of the link the same.

Yes, I think that would be safe.  If the switch is set to a larger MPS
than the hot-added device supports, I don't think we can safely use
the device.

OK, I will refresh my patch, after test in my machine, I will send it out.
