Oh, I agree. What kind of ass-backwards device actually needs that
kind of crazy delays? It is almost certainly buggy.

With retries, 10ms delays are totally unacceptable. There's something
wrong.

A single ms *may* be ok.

Anyway, can you also split the actual "write _one_ register with
retry" into a function of its own? The code looks like crap with those
multiple levels of looping, with conditionals inside them etc. With a
simple helper function, you could change the break into return, and it
would look much better, I bet.


Sure.  It appears cleaner this way.

Subject: PCI: Fix regression in pci_restore_state(), v3

Commit 26f41062f28de65e11d3cf353e52d0be73442be1

    PCI: check for pci bar restore completion and retry

attempted to address problems with PCI BAR restoration on systems
where FLR had not been completed before pci_restore_state() was
called, but it did that in an utterly wrong way.

First off, instead of retrying the writes for the BAR registers
only, it did that for all of the PCI config space of the device,
including the status register (whose value after the write quite
obviously need not be the same as the written one).  Second, it
added arbitrary delay to pci_restore_state() even for systems
where the PCI config space restoration was successful at first
attempt.  Finally, the mdelay(10) it added to every iteration of the
writing loop was way too much of a delay for any reasonable device.

All of this actually caused resume failures for some devices on
the Mikko's system.

To fix the regression, make pci_restore_state() only retry the
writes for BAR registers and only wait if the first read from
the register doesn't return the written value.  Additionaly, make
it wait for 1 ms, instead of 10 ms, after every failing attempt
to write into config space.

I'd feel better about this if there were a way to delay in the FLR
path instead.  If we delay in the restore path, we're only fixing one
of the many ways config space can be written.  Other paths that write
config space will just silently fail.

The PCIe spec (r3.0, sec 6.6.2) mentions waiting for the "pre-FLR
value for Completion Timeout," but I don't see anything that looks
like that in pcie_flr() or pci_af_flr().  Are there any other direct
ways we can detect when the FLR is complete?


I'm not aware of any.

Thanks,
Rafael

I don't think so, either.
I believe an ECN is being worked in the PCI-SIG
to add such a notification, though.
Even if adopted, need to wait for another crank of the hw before
the notification can be used.

I agree, we can't do something that works only on new hardware -- we
have to make the existing hardware in the field work.

What about the "waiting for as much time as the pre-FLR value for
Completion Timeout" part?

Or can we do something like asserting FLR, sleeping 100ms, then
attempting a write to something in config space and retrying until it
sticks?  It's kludgy, but I'm not sure it's any worse than putting the
retries in the restore path, and it would have the advantage that
other writers of config space wouldn't have to worry.

Bjorn

Depending on system config, reading a port that is being FLR'd
can cause AERs, which if a driver is registered for the endpoint,
it will get AERs reported to the driver and potentially complicate the
FLRhandling.

This implies a hook to temp-disable AER during FLR, then turning it
back on (hw &/or sw).

- Don

ps -- and there was a deadly embrace where an AER induced during
      an FLR that was initiated by userspace (libvirt writing to device
      reset file in sysfs) would lock up the system b/c the AER
      handler did a config space access, which used the same mutex.
      Not sure if that was cleaned up finally.... very corner-case-ish,
      but it shows how subtle multiple PCIe events can become complicated.
