From: Matthew Garrett <mjg@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2012 10:17:41 -0400 Since 3.2.12 and 3.3, some systems are failing to boot with a BUG_ON. Some other systems using the pata_jmicron driver fail to boot because no disks are detected. Passing pcie_aspm=force on the kernel command line works around it. The cause: commit 4949be16822e ("PCI: ignore pre-1.1 ASPM quirking when ASPM is disabled") changed the behaviour of pcie_aspm_sanity_check() to always return 0 if aspm is disabled, in order to avoid cases where we changed ASPM state on pre-PCIe 1.1 devices. This skipped the secondary function of pcie_aspm_sanity_check which was to avoid us enabling ASPM on devices that had non-PCIe children, causing trouble later on. Move the aspm_disabled check so we continue to honour that scenario.

Could you pick it up for linux-next until it makes its way to the PCI tree? Regression was introduced between 3.3-rc7 and 3.3 and between 3.2.11 and 3.2.12. Prevents boot on affected machines, though there is a workaround. Details about the symptoms and fix are above.
