This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled PCI: Avoid bus reset if bridge itself is broken to the 3.18-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: pci-avoid-bus-reset-if-bridge-itself-is-broken.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Dec 21 10:55:04 CET 2017 From: David Daney <david.daney@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2017 10:10:31 +0200 Subject: PCI: Avoid bus reset if bridge itself is broken From: David Daney <david.daney@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 357027786f3523d26f42391aa4c075b8495e5d28 ] When checking to see if a PCI bus can safely be reset, we previously checked to see if any of the children had their PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_BUS_RESET flag set. Children marked with that flag are known not to behave well after a bus reset. Some PCIe root port bridges also do not behave well after a bus reset, sometimes causing the devices behind the bridge to become unusable. Add a check for PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_BUS_RESET being set in the bridge device to allow these bridges to be flagged, and prevent their secondary buses from being reset.
