As I understand it, if your device has ATS > enabled all the time, it should always get THRU_HOST_BRIDGE. The P2P subsystem currently does not understand ATS, it assumes the device will use untranslated requests and makes the routing calculation accordingly. If the device knows it will use ATS it should ask P2P for an ATS path, and P2P should only return THRU_HOST_BRIDGE or failure. The purpose of involving the P2P subsystem is to verify that the ACS flags for the ATS translated path are going to work. There are many ACS configurations where the fabric will hang :( For something like mlx5 it is ideal if P2P chooses between ATS or !ATS based on what provides an optimal transfer. eg there is usually no reason to use ATS to access system memory for streaming (ie non cache hitting) transfers.
