Based on Vidya's backtrace, I think the resume path with problems
is this:

    pci_pm_resume_noirq
      pci_pm_default_resume_early
        pci_power_up
          if (platform_pci_power_manageable(dev))
            platform_pci_set_power_state(dev, PCI_D0)  # <-- FW delay here?
          pci_raw_set_power_state
          pci_update_current_state
            pci_device_is_present        # <-- config read returns CRS

So I think your suggestion is that Vidya's firmware should be
doing the delay inside platform_pci_set_power_state()?

Vidya, you typically work on Tegra, so I assume this is on an
arm64 system?  Does it have ACPI?  Do you have access to the
firmware developers to ask about who they expect to do the delays?

Yes. This is on arm64 (Tegra) and we don't have any ACPI or any
other firmware for that matter. PCIe is brought up directly in the
kernel.

I assume that your device is coming out of D3cold because apparently
you're seeing a CRS status from the config read when
pci_update_current_state() calls pci_device_is_present().  CRS status
should only happen after reset or power-on from D3cold, and you're not
doing a reset.

I'm pretty sure platform_pci_power_manageable() returns false on
your system (can you confirm that?) because the only scenarios with
platform power management are MID (Intel platform) and ACPI (which you
don't have).

Maybe you have some other platform-specific mechanism that controls
power to PCI devices, and it's not integrated into the
platform_pci_*() framework?

My understanding after reading the PCIe specification is that CRS is a
mechanism that allows an endpoint to signal that it isn't ready yet for
operation after reset or power-on from D3cold. There's nothing in there
that's platform specific. This is really only for specific endpoints.

I don't see how adding platform specific PM code would help in this
case. At a platform level we don't know if users are going to plug in a
PCI endpoint that needs a long delay before it's ready after reset and/
or exit from D3cold.

Right, see below.

I do understand that perhaps pci_device_is_present() is perhaps not the
best place to do complex CRS handling, but if a mechanism is clearly
described in the specification, isn't it something that should be dealt
with in the core? That way we don't have to quirk this for every device
and platform.

Definitely; we don't want quirks for endpoints (unless they're
actually broken) or for platforms (unless there's a platform hardware
or firmware defect).

There's no question that we need to delay and handle CRS after
power-on from D3cold.  I'm trying to get at the point that PCI itself
doesn't tell us how to do that power-on.  The mechanisms defined by
PCI rely on config space, which is only accessible in D0-D3hot, not
D3cold.  Power-on from D3cold can only happen via ACPI methods or
other platform-specific mechanisms, and the current design abstracts
those via platform_pci_set_power_state().  This is partly based on
Rafael's response in [1].

The PCIe specification says that:

	Software that intends to take advantage of this mechanism must
	ensure that the first access made to a device following a valid
	reset condition is a Configuration Read Request accessing both
	bytes of the Vendor ID field in the device's Configuration Space
	header.

So doesn't that mean that pci_device_is_present() is already much too
late because we've potentially made other configuration read requests in
the meantime?

Wouldn't it make more sense to push the CRS handling up a bit? The
existing pci_power_up() function seems like it would be a good place.
For example, adding code to deal with CRS right after the platform PCI
PM calls but before pci_raw_set_power_state() seems like it would fit
the restrictions given in the above quote from the specification.

Yep, I think that's the right point.  I'm trying to figure out how to
integrate it.  Rafael suggests that delays may be platform-specific
and should be in platform_pci_set_power_state(), but the CRS handling
itself isn't platform-specific and maybe could be higher up.

I'm fishing to see if Tegra has some kind of power control for
endpoints that is not related to the platform_pci_*() framework.  How
did the endpoint get put in D3cold in the first place?  I assume
something in the suspend path did that?  Maybe this happens when we
suspend the Tegra RC itself, e.g., tegra_pcie_pm_suspend()?

   tegra_pcie_pm_suspend
     tegra_pcie_phy_power_off
     tegra_pcie_power_off

   tegra_pcie_pm_resume
     tegra_pcie_power_on
     tegra_pcie_phy_power_on

If a path like tegra_pcie_pm_resume() is causing the D3cold -> D0
transition for the endpoint, I don't think we want to do CRS handling
there because that path shouldn't be touching the endpoint.  But maybe
it should be doing the delays required by PCIe r5.0, sec 6.6.1, before
any config accesses are issued to devices.
Here, I'm exercising suspend-to-RAM sequence and the PCIe endpoint of
concern is Intel 750 NVMe drive.
PCIe host controller driver already has 100ms of delay as per the spec,
but this particular device is taking 1023ms to get ready to respond to
configuration space requests (till that time, it responds with
configuration request retry statuses)
I've put a dump_stack () to see the path resume sequence takes and here it is

 pci 0005:01:00.0: ready after 1023ms

Spec also mentions the following
    Unless Readiness Notifications mechanisms are used (see Section 6.23), the Root Complex
    and/or system software must allow at least 1.0 s after a Conventional Reset of a device, before it
    may determine that a device which fails to return a Successful Completion status for a valid
    Configuration Request is a broken device. This period is independent of how quickly Link
    training completes.

My understanding is that this 1sec waiting is supposed to be done by the PCIe sub-system and not the host
controller driver.
FWIW, this particular device is taking a little more time than 1 sec (i.e. 1023 ms)
I'm now wondering why is it that the CRS has a timeout of 60 secs than just 1 sec?
