OK, thanks for checking. Since there's only one link in the path and both ends advertise L1SS and LTR support, I wouldn't expect it to make a difference. > >> But In our platform we required to disable ASPM. > > > We're trying to figure out exactly *why* you must disable ASPM.

Maybe they're related? https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171214184701.GA6322@xxxxxxxxxx https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkCentre-A-E-M-S-Series/M900-Tiny-UEFI-Bug-M-2-NVMe-SSD-amp-8260-WiFi-ASPM-disabled-Much/td-p/3570469 You might try setting NVME_QUIRK_NO_APST to see if that's related. There are some quirks that sound similar: 8427bbc22486 ("nvme-pci: disable APST on Samsung SSD 960 EVO + ASUS PRIME B350M-A") 467c77d4cbef ("nvme-pci: disable APST for Samsung NVMe SSD 960 EVO + ASUS PRIME Z370-A") Keith, et al, here's the relevant part of Srinath's lspci. Both ends of the link claim to support ASPM including L1SS and LTR, but Srinath has to disable ASPM to get the SSD to work reliably.

Is this platform a lab prototype or is it already shipping? If it's already shipping, you probably need some sort of upstream solution like an NVMe or PCIe quirk, but if not, maybe you can just hack your bringup kernel to disable ASPM and LTR until you fix the root cause.
