PCI: Disable Relaxed Ordering for some Intel processors
According to the Intel spec section 3.9.1 said: 3.9.1 Optimizing PCIe Performance for Accesses Toward Coherent Memory and Toward MMIO Regions (P2P) In order to maximize performance for PCIe devices in the processors listed in Table 3-6 below, the soft- ware should determine whether the accesses are toward coherent memory (system memory) or toward MMIO regions (P2P access to other devices). If the access is toward MMIO region, then software can command HW to set the RO bit in the TLP header, as this would allow hardware to achieve maximum throughput for these types of accesses. For accesses toward coherent memory, software can command HW to clear the RO bit in the TLP header (no RO), as this would allow hardware to achieve maximum throughput for these types of accesses. Table 3-6. Intel Processor CPU RP Device IDs for Processors Optimizing PCIe Performance Processor CPU RP Device IDs Intel Xeon processors based on 6F01H-6F0EH Broadwell microarchitecture Intel Xeon processors based on 2F01H-2F0EH Haswell microarchitecture It means some Intel processors has performance issue when use the Relaxed Ordering Attribute, so disable Relaxed Ordering for these root port.
