Subject: PCIe hot-plug issue: Failed to check link status
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2020 08:57:26 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200908085726.54509090@zim> (raw)

On a system with a Mellanox Technologies MT27800 Family [ConnectX-5]
NIC controller containing a power button, hot-plug fails to function
properly.

  Normal, expected, scenario:
    o Press the OCP NIC's power button;
    o Power button LED blinks and turns off (delivering event message
      to CPU);
    o Verify NIC is offline via 'lspci';
    o Remove controller.

  Scenario with cmdline parameter 'pcie_port_pm=off':
    o Press NIC's power button;
    o LED turns off;
    o Verify NIC is offline;
    o Press power button (in an attempt to hot-add controller);
    o NIC is not recognized.

  Scenario with no cmdline parameter, or ''pcie_aspm=off', or
  'pcie_aspm=off pcie_port_pm=off':
    o Press NIC's power button;
    o LED continuously flashes;
    o Checking via 'lspci' indicates NIC is offline but with LED
      flashing, the controller can not be removed.

The 'dmesg', and 'lspci', logs are included within the
associated bugzilla:
  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209113


As stated in the bugzilla, I'm relaying all this information second
hand.  Hoping to get the affected party involved directly.
