I have a system that is failing to recover after an EDR event with (or

patch is trying to fix, except that on my system, the hotplug port is
downstream of the root port that has DPC, so the "link down" event on it is
not being ignored.  So the hotplug code disables the slot (which contains an
NVMe device on this system) while the nvme driver is trying to use it, which
results in a failed recovery and another EDR event, and the kernel ends up
with the DPC trigger status bit set in the root port, so everything
downstream is gone.

I added the hack below so the hotplug code will ignore the "link down"
events on the ports downstream of the root port during DPC recovery, and it
recovers no problem.  (I'm not proposing this as a correct fix.)

Please help me understand what's causing the Link Down event in the
first place:

With DPC, the hardware (only) disables the link on the port containing the
error.  Since that's the Root Port above the hotplug port in your case,
the link between the hotplug port and the NVMe drive should remain up.

Since your patch sets the PCI_DPC_RECOVERING flag during invocation
of the dev->driver->err_handler->slot_reset() hook, I assume that's
what's causing the Link Down.  However pcie_portdrv_slot_reset()
only restores and saves PCI config space, I don't think that's
causing a Link Down?

Is maybe nvme_slot_reset() causing the Link Down on the parent hotplug port?

Thanks,

Lukas


Sorry for the delayed response--I was out of town.

I believe the Link Down is happening because a hot reset is propagated down when the link is lost under the root port 64:02.0. From the PCIe Base Spec 5.0, section 6.6.1 "conventional reset":

• For a Switch, the following must cause a hot reset to be sent on all Downstream Ports:
  ...
◦ The Data Link Layer of the Upstream Port reporting DL_Down status. In Switches that support Link speeds greater than 5.0 GT/s, the Upstream Port must direct the LTSSM of each Downstream Port to the Hot Reset state, but not hold the LTSSMs in that state. This permits each downstream Port to begin Link training immediately after its hot reset completes. This behavior is recommended for all Switches.
  ◦ Receiving a hot reset on the Upstream Port
(end of paste from pci spec)

For reference, here's the "lspci -t" output covering the root port 64:02.0 that is getting the DPC... there are NVMe drives at 69:00.0, 6a:00.0, 6c:00.0, and 6e:00.0, and a SAS controller at 79:00.0.

I put in some debug code to printk the config registers before the config space is restored. Before I trigger the DPC, the slot status register at 68:00.0 reads 0x40 (presence detected), and after the DPC (but before restoring PCI config space for 68:00.0), it reads 0x140 (DLL state changed + presence detected).

Before config space is restored to 68:00.0, the command register is 0. After config space is restored, I see "pcieport 0000:68:00.0: pciehp: pending interrupts 0x0010 from Slot Status" followed by "...pciehp: Slot(211): Link Down". So I assume as soon as it is able to (when its config space is restored), 68:00.0 sends the hotplug interrupt, which takes down 69:00.0.
