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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
