Since kernel 3.12-rc3, I get the following warning messages at boot: pcieport 0000:00:07.0: driver skip pci_set_master, fix it! pcieport 0000:00:01.0: driver skip pci_set_master, fix it! These are: 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 5520/5500/X58 I/O Hub PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev 13) 00:07.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 5520/5500/X58 I/O Hub PCI Express Root Port 7 (rev 13) Calling pci_set_master() immediately after pci_enable_device() makes the warning messages go away. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@xxxxxxx> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Please note that I am far from certain that this is the correct fix. Another approach would be to disable the device if get_port_device_capability() returns no capabilities. I suppose the device would then be re-enabled later if really needed. What's the best approach? drivers/pci/pcie/portdrv_core.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- linux-3.12-rc4.orig/drivers/pci/pcie/portdrv_core.c 2013-09-24 00:41:09.000000000 +0200 +++ linux-3.12-rc4/drivers/pci/pcie/portdrv_core.c 2013-10-09 15:43:54.205943783 +0200 @@ -366,13 +366,13 @@ int pcie_port_device_register(struct pci status = pci_enable_device(dev); if (status) return status; + pci_set_master(dev); /* Get and check PCI Express port services */ capabilities = get_port_device_capability(dev); if (!capabilities) return 0; - pci_set_master(dev); /* * Initialize service irqs.
