of reordering allowed. Retry is not considered an error condition, so there is no error logging or reporting done on a retry.

The 41210 terminates a transaction with retry to an initiator when one of the following conditions is met:

The 41210 receives a new memory read transaction, and the 41210 delayed transaction queue is full.

The 41210 receives a memory read that has already been queued, but has not completed on PCI Express*.

The 41210 receives a memory read that has been queued and completed on PCI Express*, but ordering rules require a downstream posted write to complete ahead of it.

A LOCK transaction has been established from PCI Express*-to-PCI.

The 41210 receives a memory write transaction, and the 41210 has no free buffer space to accept the write.

A memory write transaction is from a master other than the master that was previously retried (starvation prevention mechanism).

The 41210 disconnects an initiator when one of the following conditions is met:

The 41210 cannot accept any more write data.

The 41210 has no more read data to deliver.

The memory address is non-linear.

The inverse decode window ends.

The 41210 returns a target abort to PCI when the following condition is met.

The cycle master aborted, or the target aborted on PCI Express*/peer PCI.
