Clipping the bridge windows directly from pci_acpi_root_prepare_resources()
instead of clipping from arch_remove_reservations(), has a number of
unforseen consequences.
If there is an e820 reservation in the middle of a bridge window, then
the smallest of the 2 remaining parts of the window will be also clipped
off. Where as the previous code would clip regions requested by devices,
rather then the entire window, leaving regions which were either entirely
above or below a reservation in the middle of the window alone.
E.g. on the Steam Deck this leads to this log message:
acpi PNP0A08:00: clipped [mem 0x80000000-0xf7ffffff window] to [mem 0xa0100000-0xf7ffffff window]
which then gets followed by these log messages:
pci 0000:00:01.2: can't claim BAR 14 [mem 0x80600000-0x806fffff]: no compatible bridge window
pci 0000:00:01.3: can't claim BAR 14 [mem 0x80500000-0x805fffff]: no compatible bridge window
and many more of these. Ultimately this leads to the Steam Deck
no longer booting properly, so revert the change.
Note this is not a clean revert, this revert keeps the later change
to make the clipping dependent on a new pci_use_e820 bool, moving
the checking of this bool to arch_remove_reservations().

4c5e242d3e93 was definitely a mistake (my fault). My intent was to
mainly to improve logging of the clipping, but I didn't implement it
well.
That said, I'd like to understand the connection between the messages
you mention and the failure. There are four bridges whose MMIO
windows were in the [mem 0x80000000-0x9fffffff] area that we clipped
out. The log shows that we moved all those windows and the devices in
them to the [mem 0xa0100000-0xf7ffffff] area that remained after
clipping.
So I think this *should* have worked even though we moved things
around unnecessarily. What am I missing?
The E820 map reports [mem 0xa0000000-0xa00fffff] in the middle of the
_CRS, and we currently trim that out. We think this is a firmware
defect, so it's likely to break in 2023 if we stop clipping by
default. I'm concerned that there may be other things in _CRS that we
need to avoid, but firmware isn't telling us about them.
Or there's some dependency in the devices that we moved on their
original addresses, e.g., firmware on the device latched the address
and didn't notice the reassignment.

I don't know? My guess is that maybe the ACPI table do MMIO accesses
somewhere to hardcoded addresses and moving things breaks the ACPI
tables.

Right this is the most likely cause I believe.

It does _not_ fix the Intel MID case. It requires to have my patch applied as well.
So the difference as I see is the flags checking. I believe that you still need to
have it in case pci_use_e820 == true. But it might be that I missed an importan
detail.

Yeah, I missed that I have compiled a tested something else, and not what I was
focused on.
That said, I double checked with your patch and nothing else and v5.19-rc2
based tree works nicely.

This would be a firmware defect, IMHO. There is a mechanism (_DSM for
preserving PCI Boot Configurations) for the firmware to tell us about
things that can't be moved.

This would be another defect, in the device this time. If we can
identify the device, possibly we could quirk around it.
Either one will be back to bite us in the future if we support
rebalancing resources to make room for hot-added devices. I *think*
Windows already supports this kind of rebalancing. Anyway, this is
why we need to dig a little deeper to figure out exactly what's going
wrong here.

Have you looked at the log of the failed boot in the Steam Deck kernel
bugzilla? Everything there seems to work just fine and then the system
just hangs. I think that maybe it cannot find its root disk, so maybe
an NVME issue ?
I'm afraid that if we cannot figure out the exact root cause from
the failed boot log there is not much more we can do. Unless you
have an idea how to debug this further and want to ask the reporter
for more info?

Hans

*Exactly* that - NVMe device is the root disk, it cannot boot since the
device doesn't work, hence no rootfs =)

Beginning of thread: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
Steam Deck broke because we erroneously trimmed out the PCI host
bridge window where BIOS had placed most devices, successfully
reassigned all the PCI bridge windows and BARs, but some devices,
apparently including NVMe, didn't work at the new addresses.
Do you NVMe folks know of gotchas in this area? I want to know
because we'd like to be able to move devices around someday to make
room for hot-added devices.
This reassignment happened before drivers claimed the devices, so from
a PCI point of view, I don't know why the NVMe device wouldn't work at
the new address.

The probe status quickly returns ENODEV. Based on the output (we don't log
much, so this is just an educated guesss), I think that means the driver read
all F's from the status register, which indicates we can't read it when using
the reassigned memory window.
Why changing memory windows may not work tends to be platform or device
specific. Considering the renumbered windows didn't cause a problem for other
devices, it sounds like this nvme device may be broken.

It sounds like you've seen this sort of problem before, so we
shouldn't assume that it's safe to reassign BARs.
I think Windows supports rebalancing, but it does look like drivers
have the ability to veto it:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/kernel/stopping-a-device-to-rebalance-resources
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/wdf/the-pnp-manager-redistributes-system-resources
So I suppose if/when we support rebalancing, it'll have to be an
opt-in thing for each driver.

I haven't seen this type of problem in years, but as I recall, it was always
low-end consumer crap that couldn't deal with changing BARs; you're stuck with
whatever was set after it was initially powered on. The PCI topology will
reflect the expected renumbering, but whatever is happening on the other side
of the PCI function seems to be unaware of the change.
