Marker responses can be generated for any descriptor by setting the mrkr_req bit. Marker responses are generated after the descriptor is completed. Similar to host writebacks, excessive marker response requests can reduce descriptor engine performance. Marker responses to the user logic can also be sent with the sbi bit if configured in the context. The Marker responses are sent on Queue Status ports which can be identified by the queue id.

Descriptor completion is defined as when the descriptor data transfer has completed and its write data is acknowledged on AXI (H2C bresp for AXI MM, Valid/Ready of ST), or is accepted by the PCIe Controller’s transaction layer for transmission (C2H MM).
