Yes, but I did a terrible job asking the question, so we didn't really get an answer for this situation. The thread on the forum is https://forum.pcisig.com/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=1081 (requires PCI-SIG login, unfortunately). My question was: Given an RCiEP that supports PME, can firmware grant control over native power management events to the OS? The PCI Firmware spec, r3.2, sec 4.5.1, says: PCI Express Native Power Management Events control The firmware sets this bit to 1 to grant control over PCI Express native power management event interrupts (PMEs). If firmware allows the operating system control of this feature, then in the context of the _OSC method, it must ensure that all PMEs are routed to root port interrupts as described in the PCI Express Base Specification. I don't think there's a mechanism for RCiEPs to route PMEs to a Root Port interrupt. PCIe r4.0, sec 1.3.2.3, says: An RCiEP must signal PME and error conditions through the same mechanisms used on PCI systems. If a Root Complex Event Collector is implemented, an RCiEP may optionally signal PME and error conditions through a Root Complex Event Collector. If the OS can be granted native PME control, how does it learn where the RCiEP PME is routed? And the response from Robert Gough: The routing of root complex devices- Root Ports and Root Complex Integrated Endpionts- to Event Collectors is described in the Event Collector's RCEC Endpoint Association Capability Structure. In order for OSPM to process PMEs routed to an Event Collector, the source of the PME is found in the PME Requester ID field within the Root Status register of the Event Collector, in the same way that PME messages from children of Root Ports are serviced. I just posted this follow-up question: Thanks, that clarifies one piece. The PCI Firmware spec, r3.2, sec 4.5.1, says that if firmware allows OSPM control of PME, all PMEs should be routed to Root Port interrupts. Your answer suggests that this should be updated to say something like "all PMEs are routed to Root Port *or RCEC* interrupts". The piece I still don't understand is what happens when firmware allows OSPM control of PME in a system with an RCiEP but no RCEC. Where are PMEs from the RCiEP routed, and how does OSPM discover that? Or is it simply illegal for firmware to allow OSPM control of PME in that case? The system we're looking at doesn't have any RCECs, so I don't think the Root Complex Event Collector Endpoint Association Capability (what a mouthful :)) is applicable, but I don't think Linux currently has any support for it, so I think we're likely to trip over similar issues on systems that do have RCECs. It would be good if somebody added support for that capability. Bjorn
