- /* For PCIE hotplug enabled slots not connected directly to a
- * PCI-E root port, there can be problems when hotplugging
- * devices. This is due to the possibility of hotplugging a
- * device into the fabric with a smaller MPS that the devices
- * currently running have configured. Modifying the MPS on the
- * running devices could cause a fatal bus error due to an
- * incoming frame being larger than the newly configured MPS.
- * To work around this, the MPS for the entire fabric must be
- * set to the minimum size. Any devices hotplugged into this
- * fabric will have the minimum MPS set. If the PCI hotplug
- * slot is directly connected to the root port and there are not
- * other devices on the fabric (which seems to be the most
- * common case), then this is not an issue and MPS discovery
- * will occur as normal.
+ /*
+ * We don't have a way to change MPS settings on devices that have
+ * drivers attached. A hot-added device might support only the minimum
+ * MPS setting (MPS=128). Therefore, if the fabric contains a bridge
+ * where devices may be hot-added, we limit the fabric MPS to 128 so
+ * hot-added devices will work correctly.
+ *
+ * However, if we hot-add a device to a slot directly below a Root
+ * Port, it's impossible for there to be other existing devices below
+ * the port. We don't limit the MPS in this case because we can
+ * reconfigure MPS on both the Root Port and the hot-added device,
+ * and there are no other devices involved.
+ *
+ * Note that this PCIE_BUS_SAFE path assumes no peer-to-peer DMA.
