[PATCH V9 1/2] PCI: handle CRS returned by device after FLR

[PATCH V9 1/2] PCI: handle CRS returned by device after FLR

[Sinan Kaya]

Sporadic reset issues have been observed with Intel 750 NVMe drive by
writing to the reset file in sysfs in a loop. The sequence of events
observed is as follows:

- perform a Function Level Reset (FLR)
- sleep up to 1000ms total
- read ~0 from PCI_COMMAND
- warn that the device didn't return from FLR
- touch the device before it's ready

An endpoint is allowed to issue Configuration Request Retry Status (CRS)
following a FLR request to indicate that it is not ready to accept new
requests. CRS is defined in PCIe r3.1, sec 2.3.1. Request Handling Rules
and CRS usage in FLR context is mentioned in PCIe r3.1a, sec 6.6.2.
Function-Level Reset.

A CRS indication will only be given if the address to be read is vendor ID
register. pci_bus_read_dev_vendor_id() knows how to deal with CRS returned
0xFFFF0001 value and will continue polling until a value other than
0xFFFF0001 is returned within a given timeout.

Try to discover device presence via CRS first. If device is not found, fall
through to old behavior.

[PATCH V9 2/2] PCI: display not responding message while device is unreachable

[Sinan Kaya]

Adding a print statement into pci_bus_read_dev_vendor_id() so that
user observes the progress of device polling instead of silently
waiting for timeout to be reached.

What's the driver-visible or user-visible effect of touching the
device before it's ready?  This sequence is sort of like the joke
without the punch line :)

You reference both PCIe r3.1 and r3.1a.  Is there something new in
r3.1a in this area?  If not, just reference r3.1 for both cases.

Alex was concerned that pci_bus_read_dev_vendor_id() could return
false ("no device here") with an ID value of ~0 for a functional VF
[1].

I think that is indeed possible:

  - a VF that is ready will return 0xffff as both Vendor ID and Device
    ID (SR-IOV r1.1, sec 3.4.1.1, .2), so the very first read in
    pci_bus_read_dev_vendor_id() would see 0xffffffff and return
    "false".

  - a VF that needs more time will return CRS and we'll loop in
    pci_bus_read_dev_vendor_id() until it becomes ready, and we'll
    return "true".

Falling into the code below for the "false" case probably will work,
but it's a little bit ugly because (a) we're using two mechanisms to
figure out when the device is ready for config requests, and (b) we
have to worry about VFs both in pci_bus_read_dev_vendor_id() and here
in the caller.

Here's an idea to make pci_bus_read_dev_vendor_id() work for both VFs
and PFs.  It can't distinguish the 0xffffffff from a VF vs one from a
non-existent device, but the caller might be able to pass that
information in, e.g., when we're enumerating and don't know whether
the device exists, we don't have a pci_dev and would use this:

  pci_bus_read_dev_vendor_id(bus, devfn, &l, 60000, 0)

While places where we do have a pci_dev and expect the device to exist
(e.g., waiting after a reset), would do this:

  pci_bus_read_dev_vendor_id(bus, devfn, &l, 60000, dev->is_virtfn)

And we would skip the 0xffffffff check for VFs, e.g.,

  bool pci_bus_read_dev_vendor_id(struct pci_bus *bus, int devfn, u32 *l,
                                  int crs_timeout, int is_vf)
  {
    if (pci_bus_read_config_dword(bus, devfn, PCI_VENDOR_ID, l))
      return false;

    if (!is_vf &&
        (*l == 0xffffffff || *l == 0x00000000 ||
         *l == 0x0000ffff || *l == 0xffff0000))
        return false;

    while ((*l & 0xffff) == 0x0001) {
      ...
      if (pci_bus_read_config_dword(bus, devfn, PCI_VENDOR_ID, l))
	return false;
    }

    return true;
  }

Would that work?

I don't know if this would be the best solution.  This is a messy
area.  We're relying on the host bridge to fabricate the 0xffff data
for non-existent devices, and most (maybe all) do that, but I don't
think that's actually in the spec.

The issue was first reported as a sporadic failure to assign NVMe
physical function to the guest machine and observing NVMe drive
initialization failures in the guest machine. I then repeated the problem
by creating a reset loop.

"NVMe (non-volatile memory) is not passing through to Virtual machine. 
NVMe is listed using lspci, however, the device is not listed using lsblk and 
fdisk -l. dmesg from virtual machine shows

I can include this into the commit message.

I can use r3.1. I have r3.1a. I'm not sure if the chapter numbers match or not.

OK, I'm open to improving the code.

How about creating a pci_bus_wait_crs() function with the loop in 
pci_bus_read_dev_vendor_id() and calling it from both places?

AFAIK, returning 0xFFFFFFFF is a very typical practice. I don't know
the spec reference either.

I prototyped both of the options. I found pci_bus_wait_crs() to be cleaner
due to this. 

is_vf looked like another hack like mine to tap into the CRS handling
inside the pci_bus_read_dev_vendor_id().

I think the right thing is to make CRS handling a first class citizen rather
than hiding it and overriding functions with unnecessary parameters.

I'll post V10 in a minute. It passed my testing.

Don't we have a similar issue for other types of reset?  I would think
conventional reset, e.g., using secondary bus reset, hotplug slot
power, power management, etc., would have the same situation where a
device might return CRS status.

Yes, same issue exists on secondary bus reset. V1-V3 of this series tried to
address this but I couldn't find a solution that is not intrusive. 

I was told that hot reset is a broadcast message. Therefore, we need to handle
CRS for every single device in the tree following a bus reset.

Hotplug code is calling the vendor id read function after power on so it doesn't
have this issue.

I picked up this issue between v4..v9 due to an actual bug reported during our
internal testing. Otherwise, this issue was in rest waiting for review feedback.

CRS handling in hot reset is still open. We can move onto that issue once
we close the FLR.
