Subject: [PATCH v7 0/7] pci: Work around ASMedia ASM2824 PCIe link training failures

Hi,

This is v7 of the change to work around a PCIe link training phenomenon
where a pair of devices both capable of operating at a link speed above
2.5GT/s seems unable to negotiate the link speed and continues training
indefinitely with the Link Training bit switching on and off repeatedly
and the data link layer never reaching the active state.

This version has been trivially rebased on top of 6.3-rc5 and verified at
run time.

Previous iteration:

Subject: [PATCH v7 7/7] PCI: Work around PCIe link training failures

Attempt to handle cases such as with a downstream port of the ASMedia
ASM2824 PCIe switch where link training never completes and the link
continues switching between speeds indefinitely with the data link layer
never reaching the active state.

It has been observed with a downstream port of the ASMedia ASM2824 Gen 3
switch wired to the upstream port of the Pericom PI7C9X2G304 Gen 2
switch, using a Delock Riser Card PCI Express x1 > 2 x PCIe x1 device,
P/N 41433, wired to a SiFive HiFive Unmatched board. In this setup the
switches are supposed to negotiate the link speed of preferably 5.0GT/s,
falling back to 2.5GT/s.

Instead the link continues oscillating between the two speeds, at the
rate of 34-35 times per second, with link training reported repeatedly
active ~84% of the time. Forcibly limiting the target link speed to
2.5GT/s with the upstream ASM2824 device however makes the two switches
communicate correctly. Removing the speed restriction afterwards makes
the two devices switch to 5.0GT/s then.

Make use of these observations then and detect the inability to train
the link, by checking for the Data Link Layer Link Active status bit
being off while the Link Bandwidth Management Status indicating that
hardware has changed the link speed or width in an attempt to correct
unreliable link operation.

Restrict the speed to 2.5GT/s then with the Target Link Speed field,
request a retrain and wait 200ms for the data link to go up. If this
turns out successful, then lift the restriction, letting the devices
negotiate a higher speed.

Also check for a 2.5GT/s speed restriction the firmware may have already
arranged and lift it too with ports of devices known to continue working
afterwards, currently the ASM2824 only, that already report their data
link being up.

Changes from v6:

- Regenerate against 6.3-rc5.

- Shorten the lore.kernel.org archive link in the change description.

Changes from v5:

- Move from a quirk into PCI core and call at device probing, hot-plug,
reset and resume. Keep the ASMedia part under CONFIG_PCI_QUIRKS.

- Rely on `dev->link_active_reporting' rather than re-retrieving the
capability.

Changes from v4:

- Remove <linux/bug.h> inclusion no longer needed.

- Make the quirk generic based on probing device features rather than
specific to the ASM2824 part only; take the Retrain Link bit erratum
into account.

- Still lift the 2.5GT/s speed restriction with the ASM2824 only.

- Increase retrain timeout from 200ms to 1s (PCIE_LINK_RETRAIN_TIMEOUT).

- Remove retrain success notification.

- Use PCIe helpers rather than generic PCI functions throughout.

- Trim down and update the wording of the change description for the
switch from an ASM2824-specific to a generic fixup.

Changes from v3:

- Remove the <linux/pci_ids.h> entry for the ASM2824.

Changes from v2:

- Regenerate for 5.17-rc2 for a merge conflict.

- Replace BUG_ON for a missing PCI Express capability with WARN_ON and an
early return.

Changes from v1:

- Regenerate for a merge conflict.

I provided a Reviewed-by for this patch back in February:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/[email protected]/

Please always include collected tags when reposting your patches.

I also noted back then that this patch does not depend on the preceding
patches in the series. So please move it to the front of the series
so that it can be picked up despite the other patches still being
under discussion. That way you reduce the size of any future reposts
of the series and make life easier both for yourself and reviewers.

Thanks,

Lukas

Apologies, it's been so long and so many distractions that I completely
forgot about it. Thank you for your vigilance, and for the review in the
first place. Really appreciated!

I'll post v8 tonight with the change description updated and the patch
reordered.
