Changing the subject to the PCI specific questions. Hoping someone from linux-pci can help me understand the meaning of the PCI config space changes a little better. I notice that when my device becomes unresponsive after pm-suspend both CorrErr+ UnsuppReq+ change to CorrErr- UnsuppReq- . These should be: #define PCI_EXP_DEVSTA 10 /* Device Status */ #define PCI_EXP_DEVSTA_CED 0x01 /* Correctable Error Detected */ #define PCI_EXP_DEVSTA_NFED 0x02 /* Non-Fatal Error Detected */ #define PCI_EXP_DEVSTA_FED 0x04 /* Fatal Error Detected */ #define PCI_EXP_DEVSTA_URD 0x08 /* Unsupported Request Detected */ #define PCI_EXP_DEVSTA_AUXPD 0x10 /* AUX Power Detected */ #define PCI_EXP_DEVSTA_TRPND 0x20 /* Transactions Pending */ I don't see the kernel using them except for in tg3 tg3_chip_reset() to clear the PCI_EXP_DEVSTA on PCI-express upon reset for some reason: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.32/drivers/net/tg3.c#L6522 But this was added as a work around: commit 5e7dfd0fb94abed04f59481d1ce0cc06a892048a Author: Matt Carlson <mcarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Nov 21 17:18:16 2008 -0800 tg3: Prevent corruption at 10 / 100Mbps w CLKREQ This patch disables CLKREQ at 10Mbps and 100Mbps to workaround a TX BD corruption issue. This problem only affects the 5784 and 5761 (and 57780 AX) ASIC revisions. Signed-off-by: Matt Carlson <mcarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Apart from this I don't see any other uses for PCI_EXP_DEVSTA_CED and PCI_EXP_DEVSTA_URD on the kernel as of 2.6.32 so I will likely need to start looking at the PCI spec to decipher this. But before I do so I still am curious what the lspci difference in output for these two on from + to - would mean for these two. I leave below the relevant PCI sections of my last post.
