Hi, dear kernel developer,
Recently we encounter system hang (dead spinlock) when move to kernel linux-5.4.y.
Finally, we use bisect to locate the suspicious commit https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=linux-5.4.y&id=4667358dab9cc07da044d5bc087065545b1000df.
Our system has some HW defect, which will wrongly set PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_PFD high, and this commit will lead to infinite loop jumping to read_status (no chance to clear status PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_PFD bit since ctrl is not updated), I know this is our HW defect, but this commit makes kernel trapped in this isr function and leads to kernel hang (then the user could not get useful information to show what's wrong), which I think is not expected behavior, so I would like to report to you for discussion.

I guess this happens because the first time we handle PFD,
pciehp_ist() sets "ctrl->power_fault_detected = 1", and when
power_fault_detected is set, pciehp_isr() won't clear PFD from
PCI_EXP_SLTSTA?
It looks like the only place we clear power_fault_detected is in
pciehp_power_on_slot(), and I don't think we call that unless we have
a presence detect or link status change.
It would definitely be nice if we could arrange so this hardware
defect didn't cause a kernel hang.
I think the diff below is the backport of 8edf5332c393 ("PCI: pciehp:
Fix MSI interrupt race").

Hi Lukas/Stuart,
Want to follow up with you whether the system hang is expected when HW has a defect keeping PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_PFD always HIGH.

A system hang in response to a hardware defect like this is never the
expected situation. Worst case we should be able to work around it
with a quirk. Far better would be a generic fix that could recognize
and deal with the situation even without a quirk.
But I don't know the fix yet. I'm just responding to encourage you to
keep pestering us and not give up :) In the meantime, it might be
worth opening a report at https://bugzilla.kernel.org with a
description of how you trigger the problem, and attaching the complete
dmesg log and "sudo lspci -vv" output.

It does appear that the code will hang when pciehp_isr sees PFD high and
power_fault_detected isn't yet set, if PFD doesn't clear when a 1 is
written to it. It will continue to loop trying to clear it, and
power_fault_detected won't get set until after it gets through this loop.
It wouldn't be hard to modify that code to only attempt to clear each bit
once. I wouldn't expect the same event bit to get set twice within this
loop, so this might fix it (I did not test). Alternately, a loop counter
could be added to prevent it from looping more than some arbitrary number
(6?) of times in case of stuck bits.

Hi Stuart,
The patch you attached does not work for me, the logic should be ok but I have not figured out why. But a loop counter actually helps mitigate this issue. Thank you very much!

It does appear that the code will hang when pciehp_isr sees PFD high and power_fault_detected isn't yet set, if PFD doesn't clear when a 1 is written to it. It will continue to loop trying to clear it, and power_fault_detected won't get set until after it gets through this loop.
It wouldn't be hard to modify that code to only attempt to clear each bit once. I wouldn't expect the same event bit to get set twice within this loop, so this might fix it (I did not test). Alternately, a loop counter could be added to prevent it from looping more than some arbitrary number
(6?) of times in case of stuck bits.

I think I see the error in the logic... the patch I suggested yesterday would see bits that got cleared as changed and cause it to loop forever, when all we want to check for is if any new bits get set in each loop. Maybe try this patch? The only difference is the line "changed = status ^ (events & status);", which hopefully will only compare those status bits that are currently set against those same bits from the previous loop.

Hi Bjorn,
Thanks for the encouragement! Stuart already helps patch the hang issue, do I still go an open a report at https://bugzilla.kernel.org?

A system hang in response to a hardware defect like this is never the expected situation. Worst case we should be able to work around it with a quirk. Far better would be a generic fix that could recognize and deal with the situation even without a quirk.
But I don't know the fix yet. I'm just responding to encourage you to keep pestering us and not give up :) In the meantime, it might be worth opening a report at https://bugzilla.kernel.org with a description of how you trigger the problem, and attaching the complete dmesg log and "sudo lspci -vv" output.

I am not sure what Bjorn would say here, however personally I say that it
would be nice if you do open a bug there, if you have a minute, as it might
help someone else who would stumble into this issue - a lot of people
searches through Kernel's Bugzilla as part of their troubleshooting.
Also, as this is a hang in 5.4, and a lot of people uses this kernel, it
might warrant a back-port to stable and long-term kernels.

Yeah, other people may encounter a similar issue, I've created https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214989 for reference including the patch from Stuart.

Thank you so much! I appreciate that.
To add, the Bugzilla link above would need to be included in the commit
message for the final patch as per the usual.

Thanks a lot for the report and apologies for the breakage and the delay.
Below please find a tentative fix. Could you test whether it fixes the
issue?
I don't think this is a hardware defect. If I'm reading the spec right
(PCIe r5.0, sec. 6.7.1.8), the PFD bit is meant to remain set and cannot
be cleared until the kernel disables slot power.
When a power fault happens, we currently only change the LEDs (Power
Indicator Off, Attention Indicator On) and emit a log message.
We otherwise leave the slot as is, even though I'd assume that the
PCI device in the slot is no longer accessible.
I'm wondering whether we should interpret a power fault as surprise
removal. Alternatively, we could attempt recovery, i.e. turn slot
power off and back on. Similar to what we're doing when an Uncorrectable
Error occurs. Do you have an opinion on that? What would be the
desired behavior for your users?
Thanks,
Lukas

Subject: [PATCH] PCI: pciehp: Fix infinite loop in IRQ handler upon power
fault
The Power Fault Detected bit in the Slot Status register differs from
all other hotplug events in that it is sticky: It can only be cleared
after turning off slot power. Per PCIe r5.0, sec. 6.7.1.8:
If a power controller detects a main power fault on the hot-plug slot,
it must automatically set its internal main power fault latch [...].
The main power fault latch is cleared when software turns off power to
the hot-plug slot.
The stickiness used to cause interrupt storms and infinite loops which
were fixed in 2009 by commits 5651c48cfafe ("PCI pciehp: fix power fault
interrupt storm problem") and 99f0169c17f3 ("PCI: pciehp: enable
software notification on empty slots").
Unfortunately in 2020 the infinite loop issue was inadvertently
reintroduced by commit 8edf5332c393 ("PCI: pciehp: Fix MSI interrupt
race"): The hardirq handler pciehp_isr() clears the PFD bit until
pciehp's power_fault_detected flag is set. That happens in the IRQ
thread pciehp_ist(), which never learns of the event because the hardirq
handler is stuck in an infinite loop. Fix by setting the
power_fault_detected flag already in the hardirq handler.

2.33.0
I've tested this tentative patch, and it fixes the issue.
And current kernel behavior of only changing the LEDs may come from spec sec 6.7.1.1, which indicates that the adapter should not be removed when encountering a power fault event.
Based on the description of sec 6.7.1.8, I think it's the power controller's responsibility that power off the slot -> wait until the power fault status cleared (latched by HW)-> power on the slot again, not the kernel's responsibility.
If the kernel reports a power fault log msg, there must be something wrong with the HW, #1 (current case) the power controller circuit has some defect, falsely trigger power fault even the slot has correct voltage. #2 (seen in our factory) The slot has some defect, pulling down the correct voltage, so trigger power fault.
In my opinion, only the infinite loop bug fix is necessary for the kernel, neither the cases I listed above should cause a system hang, then we could get power fault log msg/indicators and know something wrong with our HW.
Otherwise, if exists the case that power fault is not HW-related, then maybe the kernel should interpret power fault as a surprising removal or do some power cycle retry to recovery, but I do not know such a case yet...

Joseph

Yes, please; I think it only made it into patchwork as a reply in the
email thread, not as the primary patch, so it'll be less likely to get
lost if you post it as a regular patch.
