Subject: [PATCH v3 00/17] PCI/P2PDMA: Fix ACS egress control handling
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 12:30:42 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811-fix-p2p-acs-v3-0-efc488ee7c03@nvidia.com> (raw)
PCI P2PDMA treats any enabled ACS P2P Egress Control bit as an upstream
redirect. PCIe r7.0, sec 6.12.3, table 6-11 says the Egress Control
Vector bit for the target port decides instead: a clear bit routes a peer
request directly, regardless of P2P Request Redirect. Firmware can
therefore enable Egress Control with a permissive vector while Linux
incorrectly rejects a valid direct P2P path.
Table 6-11, where E is ACS P2P Egress Control Enable, R is ACS P2P
Request Redirect Enable and V the Egress Control Vector bit for the
target port:
E R V Required Handling for Peer-to-Peer Requests
- - - ------------------------------------------
0 0 x Route directly to peer-to-peer target
0 1 x Redirect Upstream
1 0 1 Handle as an ACS Violation
1 0 0 Route directly to peer-to-peer target
1 1 1 Redirect Upstream
1 1 0 Route directly to peer-to-peer target
P2P Completion Redirect lies outside this table and also forces
host-bridge routing.
The same interaction affects target-independent ACS isolation checks.
Request Redirect does not guarantee that peer requests are forwarded
upstream while Egress Control is enabled because a clear vector bit
overrides it. Such checks cannot identify every potential target, so
treat Request Redirect as ineffective while Egress Control is enabled,
which merges the affected devices into one IOMMU group.
ACS Direct Translated P2P routes a Request carrying a Translated address
to the peer regardless of Request Redirect and Egress Control, so it
voids the same guarantee unless Translation Blocking rejects the Request
first.
That last rule holds only for a caller that needs Request Redirect to
isolate peers. pci_enable_pasid() asks for it so that a Request carrying
a PASID reaches the translation agent (sec 2.2.10.4), and a Translated
Request already carries an address the agent produced for that PASID
(sec 10.1.3). pci_acs_enabled() and pci_acs_path_enabled() therefore
take a scope, and Direct Translated P2P applies only to
PCI_ACS_SCOPE_ALL.
A pre-existing gap comes first. The routing analysis covers only Requests
carrying an Untranslated address; ACS Direct Translated P2P overrides
those controls, so that scope is now written down rather than implied.
It is nearly impossible to test all possible combinations due to limited
hardware availability, so I added KUnit coverage for ACS routing
decisions, isolation checks, Egress Control Vector lookups, and
provider-to-client path traversal over a fabricated PCIe fabric.
Disclaimer:
All patches were prepared with AI assistance, with a significant
difference between the code changes and the KUnit tests. The code
changes were thoroughly reviewed and rewritten.
In contrast, the KUnit patches were produced entirely by AI with
minimal human interaction, and multiple AI tools (Claude, Codex,
and Gemini) with frontier models were used to verify that the tests
comply with the PCI specification.

Changes in v3:
- Fixed pci_p2pdma_add_resource() error unwinding
- Made pdev->p2pdma teardown wait unconditionally for RCU readers
- Restricted pci_p2pmem_find_many() to pool-backed providers
- Documented the pdev->p2pdma lifetime and RCU rules
- Fixed calc_map_type_and_dist() handling of the verbose argument
- Required the ACS port and target to share a bus before indexing the
Egress Control Vector
- Gave pci_acs_enabled() and pci_acs_path_enabled() a scope, so the ACS
Direct Translated P2P rule no longer stops pci_enable_pasid() from
enabling PASID
- Dropped "Report ACS ports when the paths share no upstream bridge":
the mapping type cannot change without a shared upstream bridge, so
the pci=disable_acs_redir= hint was not actionable there and the ACS
walk only cost config space reads
- Folded the Request Redirect rule into pci_acs_rr_ineffective(), so
pci_acs_flags_enabled() and the Intel SPT PCH quirk share one copy
- Renamed pci_acs_egress_ctrl_set() to pci_acs_egress_ctrl_is_set(), it
reads the bit rather than setting it
- Reworded the blocked-path warning: ACS may also leave the direct route
indeterminate rather than blocked
- Added KUnit coverage for the shared-bus guard, a device with no ACS
capability and an unreadable ACS Control register
- Added the missing Fixes: tags, a second one on the
pci_p2pdma_add_resource() unwinding fix (the dangling devres action
dates to f58ef9d1d135) and one on the Egress Control isolation change
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260806-fix-p2p-acs-v2-0-0cec14812965@nvidia.com
Changes in v2:
- Added Logan's ROB tags
- Added commas in Documentation patch
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260802-fix-p2p-acs-v1-0-a7c5eb64fff6@nvidia.com
