6. After an FC Update DLLP is created, it arbitrates for access to the PCI Express link.
The FC Update DLLPs are typically scheduled with a low priority; consequently, a
continuous stream of application layer TLPs or other DLLPs (such as ACKs) can
delay the FC Update DLLP for a long time. To prevent starving the attached
transmitter, FC Update DLLPs are raised to a high priority under the following
three circumstances:
a. When the last sent
credit allocated
counter minus the amount of received
data is less than MAX_PAYLOAD and the current
credit allocated
counter is
greater than the last sent credit counter. Essentially, this means the data sink
knows the data source has less than a full MAX_PAYLOAD worth of credits,
and therefore is starving.
b. When an internal timer expires from the time the last FC Update DLLP was
sent, which is configured to 30 µs to meet the
PCI Express Base Specification for
resending FC Update DLLPs.
c. When the
credit
allocated
counter minus the last sent
credit
allocated
counter is greater than or equal to 25% of the total credits available in the RX
buffer, then the FC Update DLLP request is raised to high priority.
After arbitrating, the FC Update DLLP that won the arbitration to be the next item
is transmitted. In the worst case, the FC Update DLLP may need to wait for a
maximum sized TLP that is currently being transmitted to complete before it can
be sent.
7. The FC Update DLLP is received back at the original write requester and the
credit
limit
value is updated. If packets are stalled waiting for credits, they can
now be transmitted.
To allow the write requester to transmit packets continuously, the
credit
allocated
and the
credit
limit
counters must be initialized with sufficient credits to allow
multiple TLPs to be transmitted while waiting for the FC Update DLLP that
corresponds to the freeing of credits from the very first TLP transmitted.
Table 11–1 shows the delay components for the FC Update Loop when the IP
Compiler for PCI Express is implemented in a Stratix II GX device. The delay
components are independent of the packet length. The total delays in the loop
increase with packet length.
