Except for isochronous-configured devices, software may set Max_Read_Request_Size (MRRS) to any value up to 4096. If a device issues a read request with size greater than the completer's Max_Payload_Size (MPS), the completer is required to break the response into multiple completions. Instead of correctly responding with multiple completions to a large read request, some LS7A Root Ports respond with a Completer Abort. To prevent this, the MRRS must be limited to an implementation-specific value. The OS cannot detect that value, so rely on BIOS to configure MRRS before booting, and quirk the Root Ports so we never set an MRRS larger than that BIOS value for any downstream device. N.B. Hot-added devices are not configured by BIOS, and they power up with MRRS = 512 bytes, so these devices will be limited to 512 bytes. If the LS7A limit is smaller, those hot-added devices may not work correctly, but per [1], hotplug is not supported with this chipset revision.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
