One Line Summary

Maximum payload size vs. Maximum Read Request Size

Abstract

PCIe specification defines Maximum Payload Size (MPS) in Rev 3.1 Sec 2.2.2 TLPs with Data Payloads – Rules as a limiter on the TLP size.

Maximum Read Request Size (MRS) is the application layer size of a data that can be transferred at a given time. MRS value needs to be a multiple of MPS and MRS request is sent in chunks of data with MPS size.

Endpoints typically support 4k MRS size.
Linux is currently matching MPS and MRS value. This is causing HW resources to be inefficiently used.
