[PATCH 3/3] pciehp: Fix race condition handling surprise link-down

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A surprise link down may retrain very quickly, causing the same slot to
generate a link up event before handling the link down completes.

Since the link is active, the power off work queued from the first link
down will cause a second down event when the power is disabled. The second
down event should be ignored because the slot is already powering off;
however, the "link up" event sets the slot state to POWERON before the
event to handle this is enqueued, making the second down event believe
it needs to do something. This creates a constant link up and down
event cycle.

This patch fixes that by setting the slot state only when the work to
handle the power event is executing, protected by the hot plug mutex.
