[PATCH V2] PCI: enable extended tags support for PCIe devices

[PATCH V2] PCI: enable extended tags support for PCIe devices

[Sinan Kaya]

Each PCIe device can issue up to 32 transactions at a time by default.
Each transaction is tracked by a tag number on the bus. 2.2.6.2.
Transaction Descriptor – Transaction ID Field section of the PCIe 3.1
specification describes extended tags.

32 transaction limit has been extended to 256 on PCI Express. According
to the specification, all PCIe devices are required to support receiving
8-bit Tags (Tag completer). The PCIe-PCI bridges handle the translation
of 8-bit tags to 5-bit tags.

However, the generation of 8-bit tags is left optional to a particular HW
implementation. The code needs to check HW support before attempting
to enable extended tags producer capability.

32 outstanding transactions is not enough for some performance critical
applications especially when a lot of small sized frames are transmitted.

Extended tags support increases this number to 256. Devices not
supporting extended tags tie-off this field to 0. According to ECN, it
is safe to enable this feature for all PCIe devices.
