But pcie_bus_configure_settings just make sure the mrrs for a device
is not greater than the max payload size.
Not quite, it first scans the network checking the Maximum Payload Size
Supported (MPSS) for each device, and chooses the highest supported by
all as the MPS for all.
The "performance" setting, e.g., "pci=pcie_bus_perf", adds a few
wrinkles by setting MRRS in ways that allow some devices to have
larger MPS than others.  I don't think this is exactly what was
envisioned in the spec, and it is not guaranteed to work if there is
peer-to-peer DMA.  This isn't documented very well; the best I know of
is the changelogs for:

  a1c473aa11e6 pci: Clamp pcie_set_readrq() when using "performance" settings
  b03e7495a862 PCI: Set PCI-E Max Payload Size on fabric
