For mlx5 if ATS is enabled in the PCI config then the device will use ATS requests for only certain DMA operations. This has to be opted in by the SW side based on the mkey or umem settings. ATS slows down the PCI performance, so it should only be set in cases when it is needed. All of these cases revolve around optimizing PCI P2P transfers and avoiding bad cases where the bus just doesn't work.

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.
