[PATCH 1/3] PCI/ASPM: Use the path max in L1 ASPM latency check

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Make pcie_aspm_check_latency comply with the PCIe spec, specifically:
"5.4.1.2.2. Exit from the L1 State"

Which makes it clear that each switch is required to initiate a
transition within 1μs from receiving it, accumulating this latency and
then we have to wait for the slowest link along the path before
entering L0 state from L1.

The current code doesn't take the maximum latency into account.

>From the example:
   +----------------+
   |                |
   |  Root complex  |
   |                |
   |    +-----+     |
   |    |32 μs|     |
   +----------------+
           |
           |  Link 1
           |
   +----------------+
   |     |8 μs|     |
   |     +----+     |
   |    Switch A    |
   |     +----+     |
   |     |8 μs|     |
   +----------------+
           |
           |  Link 2
           |
   +----------------+
   |    |32 μs|     |
   |    +-----+     |
   |    Switch B    |
   |    +-----+     |
   |    |32 μs|     |
   +----------------+
           |
           |  Link 3
           |
   +----------------+
   |     |8μs|      |
   |     +---+      |
   |   Endpoint C   |
   |                |
   |                |
   +----------------+

Links 1, 2 and 3 are all in L1 state - endpoint C initiates the
transition to L0 at time T. Since switch B takes 32 μs to exit L1 on
it's ports, Link 3 will transition to L0 at T+32 (longest time
considering T+8 for endpoint C and T+32 for switch B).

Switch B is required to initiate a transition from the L1 state on it's
upstream port after no more than 1 μs from the beginning of the
transition from L1 state on the downstream port. Therefore, transition from
L1 to L0 will begin on link 2 at T+1, this will cascade up the path.

The path will exit L1 at T+34.

On my specific system:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I211 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03)
04:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 816e (rev 1a)

            Exit latency       Acceptable latency
Tree:       L1       L0s       L1       L0s
----------  -------  -----     -------  ------
00:01.2     <32 us   -
| 01:00.0   <32 us   -
|- 02:03.0  <32 us   -
| \03:00.0  <16 us   <2us      <64 us   <512ns
|
\- 02:04.0  <32 us   -
  \04:00.0  <64 us   unlimited <64 us   <512ns

04:00.0's latency is the same as the maximum it allows so as we walk the path
the first switchs startup latency will pass the acceptable latency limit
for the link, and as a side-effect it fixes my issues with 03:00.0.

Without this patch, 03:00.0 misbehaves and only gives me ~40 mbit/s over
links with 6 or more hops. With this patch I'm back to a maximum of ~933
mbit/s.

The original code path did:
04:00:0-02:04.0 max latency 64    -> ok
02:04.0-01:00.0 max latency 32 +1 -> ok
01:00.0-00:01.2 max latency 32 +2 -> ok

And thus didn't see any L1 ASPM latency issues.

The new code does:
04:00:0-02:04.0 max latency 64    -> ok
02:04.0-01:00.0 max latency 64 +1 -> latency exceeded
01:00.0-00:01.2 max latency 64 +2 -> latency exceeded

It correctly identifies the issue.

Kai-Heng Feng has a machine that will not boot with ASPM without this patch,
