Hello Konstantin! There are issues with Marvell Armada 3720 PCIe controller when high performance PCIe card (e.g. WiFi AX) is connected to this SOC. Under heavy load PCIe controller sends fatal abort to CPU and kernel crash. In Marvell Armada 3700 Functional Errata, Guidelines, and Restrictions document is described erratum 3.12 PCIe Completion Timeout (Ref #: 251) which may be relevant. But neither Bjorn, Thomas nor me were able to understood text of this erratum. And we have already spent lot of time on this erratum. My guess that is that in erratum itself are mistakes and there are missing some other important details. Konstantin, are you able to understand this erratum? Or do you know somebody in Marvell who understand this erratum and can explain details to us? Or do you know some more details about this erratum? Also it would be useful if you / Marvell could share text of this erratum with linux-pci people as currently it is available only on Marvell Customer Portal which requires registration with signed NDA. In past Thomas wrote patch "according to this erratum" and I have rebased, rewritten and resent it to linux-pci mailing list for review: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20210624222621.4776-6-pali@xxxxxxxxxx/ Similar patch is available also in kernel which is part of Marvell SDK. Bjorn has objections for this patch as he thinks that bit DIS_ORD_CHK in that patch should be disabled. Seems that enabling this bit effectively disables PCIe strong ordering model. PCIe kernel drivers rely on PCIe strong ordering, so it would implicate that that bit should not be enabled. Which is opposite of what is mentioned patch doing. Konstantin, could you help us with this problem?
