I am sending this as RFC, because I can only trigger it sporadically on
Linux 6.6.54 , but I believe this was around for a while. The rationale
might also be far from perfect. This is NOT a proper fix for the issue.
The pci_host_probe() and pci_bus_type RPM suspend seem to race against each
other at least in Linux kernel up to 6.6.54 . The problem occurs when the
PCIe host controller driver, in this case DWC i.MX6, is sufficiently delayed
by EPROBE_DEFER from one if its clocks, in this case the PCIe bus clock
provided by RS9 clock synthesizer driver which is compiled as a module and
loaded about a minute after boot. Once the RS9 module is loaded and the
bus clock become available, the probe of DWC iMX6 controller driver can
proceed.
At that point, imx6_pcie_probe() triggers pci_host_probe(), while at the
same time, devices instantiated with pci_bus_type can already enter RPM
suspend via pci_bus_type pci_pm_runtime_idle() / pci_pm_runtime_suspend()
callbacks.
The pci_host_probe() does reallocate BARs for devices which start up with
uninitialized BAR addresses set to 0 by calling pci_bus_assign_resources(),
which updates the device config space content.
At the same time, pci_pm_runtime_suspend() triggers pci_save_state() for
all devices which do not have drivers assigned to them to store current
content of their config space registers.
This leads to a race condition between pci_bus_assign_resources() and
pci_save_state(). In case pci_save_state() wins and gets called before
pci_bus_assign_resources(), the content stored by pci_save_state() is
the incorrect pre-pci_bus_assign_resources() content, which is usually
one with BARs set to invalid addresses and possibly other invalid
configuration.
Once either a driver or manual RPM control attempts to start the device
up, that invalid content is restored into the device config space and
the device becomes inoperable. If the BARs are restored to zeroes, then
the device stops responding to BAR memory accesses, while it still does
respond to config space accesses.
Work around the issue by not suspending pci_bus_type devices which do
not have driver assigned to them, keep those devices active to prevent
pci_save_state() from being called. Once a proper driver takes over, it
can RPM manage the device correctly.
Invalid ordering and backtrace is below, visualized with this extra print
added to drivers/pci/setup-res.c :
