Hi,
We have some Intel laptops (11th generation CPU) with NVIDIA GPU
suffering the same GPU falling off the bus problem while exiting
s2idle with external display connected. These laptops connect the
external display via the HDMI/DisplayPort on a USB Type-C interfaced
dock. If we enter and exit s2idle with the dock connected, the NVIDIA
GPU (confirmed on 10de:24b6 and 10de:25b8) and the PCIe port can come
back to D0 w/o problem. If we enter the s2idle, disconnect the dock,
then exit the s2idle, both external display and the panel will remain
with no output. The dmesg as follows shows the "nvidia 0000:01:00.0:
can't change power state from D3cold to D0 (config space
inaccessible)" due to the following ACPI error

The IPCS is the last function called from \_SB.PC00.PEG1.PG01._ON
which we expect it to prepare everything before bringing back the
NVIDIA GPU but it's stuck in the infinite loop as described below.
Please refer to

the full DSDT.dsl.

And the upstream PCIe port of NVIDIA seems to become inaccessible due
to the messages as follows.
[ 292.746508] pcieport 0000:00:01.0: waiting 100 ms for downstream
link, after activation
[ 292.882296] pci 0000:01:00.0: waiting additional 100 ms to become accessible
[ 316.876997] pci 0000:01:00.0: can't change power state from D3cold
to D0 (config space inaccessible)
Since the IPCS is the Intel Reference Code and we don't really know
why the never-end loop happens just because we unplug the dock while
the system still stays in s2idle. Can anyone from Intel suggest what
happens here?
And one thing also worth mentioning, if we unplug the display cable
from the dock before entering the s2idle, NVIDIA GPU can come back w/o
problem even if we disconnect the dock before exiting s2idle. Here's
the lspci information
https://gist.github.com/mschiu77/0bfc439d15d52d20de0129b1b2a86dc4 and
the dmesg log with ACPI trace_state enabled and dynamic debug on for
drivers/pci/pci.c, drivers/acpi/device_pm.c for the whole s2idle
enter/exit with IPCS timeout.
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.
Chris
