This patch adds a blacklist that prevents pci device shutdown code from clearing Bus Master bit on certain hardware that cannot tolerate it. Clearing Bus Master bit was originally added in commit b566a22 to address the issue of some PCI device breaking kexec by continuing to do DMA after having been signaled to shutdown. However, this introduced a regression (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63861) that hangs the machine on kernel power off path. It has been pointed out previously (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/6/545) that clearing Bus Master bit during PCI shutdown may have surprising consequences as some devices may not tolerate this, and may hang the system indefinitely. However, not doing so may break kexec. Since only one bug report has come up since the introduction of b566a22, therefore indicating that these misbehaving devices are in the minority, the logical way to fix the hang while not breaking kexec is to blacklist these devices from having their Bus Master bit cleared during the PCI shutdown routine. --- This fixes the above mentioned bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63861 As Alan Cox has warned in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/6/545, some device will break if we clear bus master bit on shutdown. So sooner or later we will need to blacklist some device if we are to keep Bus Master being cleared as the default behavior. Now with the first (as I have been aware) device that breaks under this default behavior has surfaced, we might as well add the infrastructure code now in case some other devices break down in the future. These devices may not be many so a blacklist likely won't add much maintainance overhead. And we should keep the blacklist here in the pci shutdown code instead of in individual device drivers since this is the most direct way and will likely aid future debug process. drivers/pci/pci-driver.c | 34 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 33 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/pci/pci-driver.c b/drivers/pci/pci-driver.c index 98f7b9b..1744ebf 100644 --- a/drivers/pci/pci-driver.c +++ b/drivers/pci/pci-driver.c @@ -376,6 +376,29 @@ static int pci_device_remove(struct device * dev) return 0; } +/* + * Blacklisting certain hardware from having their Bus Master bit cleared + * during device shutdown.
