Subject: [PATCH v3] PCI: Document PCIE BUS MPS parameters
Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 17:36:55 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1359106615-17544-1-git-send-email-wangyijing@huawei.com> (raw)

v0->v1: Update MPS parameters as non-arch and add MRRS
		description into pcie_bus_perf parameter suggested
		by Andrew Murray.
v1->v2: Update some semantic problems and add MPS and MRRS
		explanation suggested by Joe Lawrence and Randy Dunlap.
v2->v3: Update some semantic problems and the description
		of pcie_bus_safe and pcie_bus_peer2peer suggested
		by Bjorn Helgaas.

Document PCIE BUS MPS parameters pcie_bus_tune_off, pcie_bus_safe,
pcie_bus_peer2peer, pcie_bus_perf into Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.
These parameters were introduced by Jon Mason <mason@myri.com> at
commit 5f39e6705 and commit b03e7495a8.
