Transaction ordering



Hello,

In the PCI 2.1 spec it says that the (host bus?) bridge must flush
all its posted writes in both directions before completing a read
transaction. At least, that's my intrepretation of chapter 3.2.5 (3),
first paragraph.

If I'm right in the above, why is it necessary to flush all posted writes
in *both* directions before completing a read. Can somebody enlighten me?

Yours,
Magnus Homann
