[ Upstream commit 46a9f70e93ef73860d1dbbec75ef840031f8f30a ]
The commit 665745f27487 ("PCI/bwctrl: Re-add BW notification portdrv as
PCIe BW controller") was found to lead to a boot hang on a Intel P45
system. Testing without setting Link Bandwidth Management Interrupt Enable
(LBMIE) and Link Autonomous Bandwidth Interrupt Enable (LABIE) (PCIe r7.0,
sec 7.5.3.7) in bwctrl allowed system to come up.
P45 is a very old chipset and supports only up to gen2 PCIe, so not having
bwctrl does not seem a huge deficiency.
Add no_bw_notif in struct pci_dev and quirk Intel P45 Root Port with it.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
The offending commit `665745f274870` first appeared in **v6.13-rc1**,
meaning it's present in **6.13.y** stable trees and newer. This means
the boot hang regression affects stable kernel users on 6.13.y and
later.
### 6. User Impact
- **Severity**: CRITICAL — complete boot hang (system is unusable)
- **Affected hardware**: Intel P45 chipset systems (older but still in
use)
- **Affected versions**: v6.13 and later (wherever bwctrl was
introduced)
- **Users impacted**: Anyone running an Intel P45 system who upgrades to
6.13+
### 7. Risk vs. Benefit
**Benefit**: Fixes a boot hang on Intel P45 systems — without this
quirk, these systems cannot boot kernels 6.13+.
**Risk**: Essentially zero. The quirk only fires for one specific PCI
device ID (0x2e21). The probe check returns -ENODEV before any resources
are allocated. This follows a well-established PCI quirk pattern used
hundreds of times in the kernel. The only "loss" is BW notification on a
Gen2 PCIe chipset, which is of negligible value.
### 8. Backport Considerations
The fix should apply cleanly to any tree that has the bwctrl code
(6.13+). The `no_bw_notif` bit field addition to `struct pci_dev` is
straightforward. The quirk file change is a simple addition. The
bwctrl.c check is at the top of the probe function.
One minor consideration: the `pci_dev` struct layout might differ
slightly between stable versions, but adding a bitfield member to the
existing bitfield group should be safe.
### Summary
This is a textbook stable backport candidate:
- **Fixes a real, user-reported boot hang** (critical regression)
- **Hardware quirk** (explicitly allowed in stable)
- **Small, surgical fix** (~15 lines)
- **Near-zero regression risk** (only affects one device ID)
- **Tested by the reporter** (confirmed working)
- **Written and reviewed by subsystem experts** (Intel engineer + PCI
maintainer)
- **Fixes a regression introduced in 6.13** (affects stable users)
**YES**

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
Now let me look at the full commit chain. Before v6.14, the code in
v6.6-v6.13 had an early return (`if (dw_pcie_get_ltssm(pci) <=
DW_PCIE_LTSSM_DETECT_ACT) return 0;`) which meant when no endpoint was
connected, the function returned early - skipping both the PME stuff AND
`dw_pcie_stop_link()` and `deinit()`.
In v6.14, commit `86a016e278b78` added `dw_pcie_stop_link()` but AFTER
the L2 wait timeout, and `112aba9a79345` removed the early LTSSM check.
This combination means: when no link is up, the code tries to do PME/L2
stuff, might timeout, and returns error before reaching stop_link.
The commit under review fixes this by adding a proper
`dw_pcie_link_up()` check at the top that skips directly to
`stop_link:`, ensuring the link is always properly stopped and deinit is
always called.
### Dependency Analysis
This commit depends on:
1. `112aba9a79345` (v6.14) - Removed the LTSSM state guard and
restructured the timeout handling
2. `86a016e278b78` (v6.14) - Added `dw_pcie_stop_link()` to the suspend
path
3. Possibly `e1a4ec1a9520b` (v6.14) - Added MSG TLP support for
PME_Turn_Off
4. `8f4a489b370e6` - Modified dw_pcie_pme_turn_off()
The code in the diff matches the state of the file as it exists in
v6.14+. For stable trees < v6.14 (6.6.y, 6.1.y, etc.), the context is
completely different because the old code had an early return for no-
link case. The bug this fixes was essentially **introduced** by the
v6.14 changes that removed the LTSSM guard.
### Classification
This is a **bug fix** for the suspend path - it prevents:
1. Timeout errors during suspend when PCIe link is down
2. Missing stop_link/deinit calls (resource cleanup)
3. Broken resume after failed suspend
The fix is:
- Small and contained (a few lines added)
- Obviously correct (skip link-related operations if link isn't up)
- Well-reviewed (Reviewed-by from Frank Li and Shawn Lin, Tested-by from
Vincent Guittot)
- Self-contained (no additional dependencies beyond what's already in
the file)
### Risk Assessment
- **Low risk**: The change only adds a guard at the top of the function.
If the link IS up, the behavior is completely unchanged. If the link
is NOT up, it skips meaningless operations and goes to cleanup.
- **Scope**: Only affects DWC PCIe host controller suspend path, very
specific scenario (link down during suspend)
- **Impact**: Fixes real suspend failures on ARM/embedded platforms
using DWC PCIe (Qualcomm, Rockchip, i.MX, etc.)
### Concerns
The primary concern is **dependency**: This commit effectively fixes a
regression introduced by `112aba9a79345` and `86a016e278b78` in v6.14.
For stable trees that don't have those commits (6.6.y, 6.1.y), the old
code had a different guard (`dw_pcie_get_ltssm() <=
DW_PCIE_LTSSM_DETECT_ACT`) that handled the link-down case differently
(by returning 0 early). So:
- For 6.14.y: This fix applies cleanly and is directly needed
- For 6.6.y and earlier: The patch won't apply cleanly and the
underlying bug pattern is different
The fix is appropriate for stable trees that contain the dependent
commits (6.14+), and would need adaptation for older stable trees. But
since it fixes a real suspend regression on widely-used hardware
platforms, it's worth backporting.
### Verdict
This commit fixes a real bug where system suspend fails with timeout
errors on DWC PCIe controllers when no endpoint is connected (link not
up). It's small, well-reviewed, tested, and fixes a clear regression. It
meets stable kernel criteria.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
## Analysis of PCI Quirk for Nvidia GB10 Bus Reset
### Commit Message Analysis
The commit adds a PCI quirk to prevent Secondary Bus Reset (SBR) for
devices behind Nvidia GB10 Root Ports. The problem is clearly stated:
after asserting SBR, the link may not retrain correctly — leading to
reduced lane count or complete failure of config accesses to downstream
devices. This is a real hardware bug with concrete symptoms (link
degradation, device inaccessibility).
### Code Change Analysis
The change is minimal and surgical:
- Two `DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_HEADER` lines are added for two specific Nvidia
device IDs (`0x22CE` and `0x22D0`)
- Both call the existing `quirk_no_bus_reset()` function, which simply
sets `PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_BUS_RESET` on the device
- A comment block explains why the quirk is needed, with a link to the
mailing list discussion
The diff also shows context that there's already a similar quirk pattern
for other Nvidia GPU devices (`quirk_nvidia_no_bus_reset` matching
`0x2340` range), as well as Atheros devices. This is a well-established
pattern in the kernel.
### Classification: Hardware Quirk
This falls squarely into the **hardware quirk** category, which is
explicitly listed as a strong YES signal for stable backporting.
Hardware quirks:
- Fix real-world hardware issues
- Are trivial additions to existing infrastructure
- Have near-zero risk of regression (they only affect the specific
hardware identified by the PCI IDs)
### Scope and Risk Assessment
- **Lines changed**: ~8 lines (2 macro invocations + comment block)
- **Files touched**: 1 (`drivers/pci/quirks.c`)
- **Complexity**: Minimal — uses existing `quirk_no_bus_reset()`
function
- **Risk**: Extremely low — only affects devices with vendor ID
`PCI_VENDOR_ID_NVIDIA` and device IDs `0x22CE` or `0x22D0`
- **No dependencies**: The `quirk_no_bus_reset()` function and
`DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_HEADER` macro have existed in the kernel for a very
long time
### User Impact
- **Who is affected**: Users with Nvidia GB10 Root Ports (likely
MediaTek platforms given the author's affiliation)
- **Severity without fix**: Bus reset can cause downstream devices to
become inaccessible (config accesses fail) or degrade link performance
(lower lane count). This can manifest as device failures, system
hangs, or degraded performance
- **Severity with fix**: Bus reset is avoided for these specific root
ports, preventing the link training failure
### Stability Indicators
- **Reviewed-by**: Manivannan Sadhasivam (PCI subsystem reviewer)
- **Committed by**: Bjorn Helgaas (PCI subsystem maintainer), who also
edited the commit log
- **Mailing list link**: Provided for traceability
- The pattern is identical to many existing quirks in the same file
### Dependency Check
No dependencies. The `quirk_no_bus_reset()` function exists in all
stable trees. `DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_HEADER` and `PCI_VENDOR_ID_NVIDIA` are
long-established. This will apply cleanly to any stable tree.
### Conclusion
This is a textbook hardware quirk addition — small, self-contained, zero
regression risk, fixes a real hardware issue (bus reset failure causing
device inaccessibility), uses existing well-tested infrastructure,
reviewed and committed by the PCI subsystem maintainer. It meets all
stable kernel criteria.

[ Upstream commit 8719c64e76bf258cc8f44109740c854f2e2ead2e ]
dw_pcie_ep_raise_msi_irq() currently programs an outbound iATU window
for the MSI target address on every interrupt and tears it down again
via dw_pcie_ep_unmap_addr().
On systems that heavily use the AXI bridge interface (for example when
the integrated eDMA engine is active), this means the outbound iATU
registers are updated while traffic is in flight. The DesignWare
endpoint databook 5.40a - "3.10.6.1 iATU Outbound Programming Overview"
warns that updating iATU registers in this situation is not supported,
and the behavior is undefined.
Under high MSI and eDMA load this pattern results in occasional bogus
outbound transactions and IOMMU faults, on the RC side, such as:
ipmmu-vmsa eed40000.iommu: Unhandled fault: status 0x00001502 iova 0xfe000000
followed by the system becoming unresponsive. This is the actual output
observed on Renesas R-Car S4, with its ipmmu_hc used with PCIe ch0.
There is no need to reprogram the iATU region used for MSI on every
interrupt. The host-provided MSI address is stable while MSI is enabled,
and the endpoint driver already dedicates a scratch buffer for MSI
generation.
Cache the aligned MSI address and map size, program the outbound iATU
once, and keep the window enabled. Subsequent interrupts only perform a
write to the MSI scratch buffer, avoiding dynamic iATU reprogramming in
the hot path and fixing the lockups seen under load.
dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq() is not modified, as each vector can have a
different msg_addr, and because the msg_addr is allowed to be changed
while the vector is masked. Neither problem is easy to solve with the
current design. Instead, the plan is for the DWC vendor drivers to
transition to dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq_doorbell(), which does not rely
on the iATU.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
This confirms the **current state of the code** (before the patch is
applied) still has the map/unmap on every call pattern at lines 705-712.
The patch hasn't been applied yet to this tree — this is the candidate
being evaluated.
### 8. STANDALONE ASSESSMENT
Looking at the dependency analysis more carefully: the agent found that
in some stable tree, this commit was brought in as part of a 10-commit
dependency chain for a different fix. However, **that doesn't change the
standalone value of this commit**. The commit itself:
1. **Is a standalone bug fix** — it fixes iATU reprogramming under load
causing IOMMU faults and system lockups on real hardware
2. **Has no prerequisite patches** — `dw_pcie_ep_align_addr`,
`dw_pcie_ep_map_addr`, and `dw_pcie_ep_unmap_addr` all exist in the
current tree
3. **Only adds internal fields to a struct** — no API changes needed
from other patches
4. **Applies cleanly** to the current code (the pre-patch code matches
lines 704-712)
### RISK vs BENEFIT
**Benefit**: HIGH
- Fixes real system lockups under load on DWC PCIe endpoint platforms
- The bug is documented by the hardware vendor's databook as "undefined
behavior"
- Concrete symptoms reported on Renesas R-Car S4
- System becomes unresponsive — this is a critical stability issue
**Risk**: LOW-MEDIUM
- The change is well-contained within 2 files, single subsystem
- The caching logic is straightforward and defensive (WARN_ON_ONCE on
unexpected address change)
- Proper cleanup on endpoint stop prevents resource leaks
- Only affects DWC PCIe endpoint users
### CONCERNS
1. The change modifies `struct dw_pcie_ep` by adding 3 fields — this is
safe as long as no out-of-tree modules depend on this struct layout
(unlikely given it's a controller-specific struct).
2. The WARN_ON_ONCE path returns -EINVAL if MSI address changes — this
is a safe fallback since the databook says reprogramming under load
is undefined anyway.
3. The commit applies cleanly to the current tree based on code
inspection.
### CONCLUSION
This commit fixes a **real, documented hardware bug** that causes
**system lockups** on DesignWare PCIe endpoint platforms under load. The
fix is:
- **Obviously correct**: Caching an iATU mapping that the hardware
vendor's databook says should not be reprogrammed while traffic is in
flight
- **Well-tested**: Verified on Renesas R-Car S4
- **Contained**: 2 files, single subsystem, no API changes
- **Defensive**: WARN_ON_ONCE + -EINVAL on unexpected conditions, proper
cleanup on stop
This clearly meets all stable kernel criteria for a backport.
**YES**

Hi Sasha,
Could you please hold off on backporting this patch until the follow-up
regression fix:
[PATCH] PCI: dwc: ep: Fix regression in dw_pcie_ep_raise_msi_irq()
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260210181225.3926165-2-cassel@kernel.org/
lands upstream, so the both commits can be taken together?
The original fix ("PCI: dwc: ep: Cache MSI outbound iATU mapping") addresses an
issue that is only observable under high load, and had existed for a long time
without being reported until I posted the original fix. However, it later turned
out to introduce a regression that can lead to a system hang on some platform.
Backporting the initial commit without the follow-up fix would therefore risk
introducing a more severe problem into stable trees, at least temporarily. I
think it would be more preferable to take both commits together.
Niklas, please let me know if you would like to add anything.
Thanks,
Koichiro

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
## Analysis
### Commit Message Analysis
This commit adds ACS (Access Control Services) quirk entries for two
Qualcomm root port devices: Hamoa (device ID 0x0111) and Glymur (device
ID 0x0120). The commit message explains that these root ports don't
advertise ACS capability but do provide ACS-like features to disable
peer transactions and validate bus numbers.
### Code Change Analysis
The change is extremely simple and contained:
- **4 lines added** (2 comment lines + 2 data entries) in
`drivers/pci/quirks.c`
- Adds two new entries to the `pci_dev_acs_enabled` table
- Both entries use `PCI_VENDOR_ID_QCOM` with the existing
`pci_quirk_qcom_rp_acs` handler
- The pattern is identical to the existing QCOM SA8775P, QDF2xxx, and
HXT entries already in the table
### Classification: Hardware Quirk / Device ID Addition
This falls squarely into the **"QUIRKS and WORKAROUNDS"** exception
category for stable backports:
1. **It's a PCI quirk** for hardware with broken/missing ACS
advertisement
2. **The infrastructure already exists** - `pci_quirk_qcom_rp_acs` is
already in the kernel and used by other Qualcomm devices
3. **Only data table entries are added** - no new code logic whatsoever
4. **It enables correct IOMMU isolation** on these platforms
### Why This Matters
ACS quirks are important for:
- **VFIO/PCIe passthrough**: Without the ACS quirk, IOMMU groups may be
incorrectly merged, preventing device assignment to VMs
- **Security isolation**: ACS ensures peer-to-peer transactions between
devices go through the IOMMU, which is critical for DMA security
- **Functionality**: Users with Qualcomm Hamoa or Glymur platforms
cannot properly use PCIe device passthrough without this quirk
### Risk Assessment
- **Risk: Extremely low** - This only adds entries to a static data
table. The quirk function `pci_quirk_qcom_rp_acs` is already proven
and used by other QCOM devices. The new entries will only match on the
specific vendor:device combinations, so no other hardware is affected.
- **Benefit: Real** - Users with these Qualcomm platforms get correct
IOMMU group isolation
- **Dependencies: None** - The `pci_quirk_qcom_rp_acs` function and
`PCI_VENDOR_ID_QCOM` already exist in stable trees
- **Backport complexity: Trivial** - The patch should apply cleanly to
any stable tree that has the QCOM SA8775P entry (or can be trivially
adjusted)
### Scope and Stability
- 4 lines of change in a single file
- Pure data addition to an existing table
- No logic changes, no new functions, no new APIs
- Zero risk of regression for any other hardware
- Well-tested pattern (dozens of similar quirk entries exist)
This is a textbook example of a hardware quirk addition that is
appropriate for stable trees. It's small, obviously correct, uses
existing infrastructure, and enables real hardware to work properly.
**YES**

[ Upstream commit 0297dce758a021ccf2c0f4e164d5403ef722961c ]
The cdns_pcie_host_dma_ranges_cmp() element comparison function used by
list_sort() is of type list_cmp_func_t, so it returns a 32-bit int.
cdns_pcie_host_dma_ranges_cmp() computes a resource_size_t difference that
may be a 64-bit value, and truncating that difference to a 32-bit return
value may change the sign and result in an invalid sort order.
Avoid the truncation and invalid sort order by returning -1, 0, or 1.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
## Analysis of PCI: cadence: Avoid signed 64-bit truncation and invalid
sort
### Commit Message Analysis
The commit message clearly describes a bug: the comparison function
`cdns_pcie_host_dma_ranges_cmp()` returns a 32-bit `int`, but it
computes a difference of `resource_size_t` values which can be 64-bit.
Truncating a 64-bit difference to 32 bits can change the sign, resulting
in an **invalid sort order**. This is a classic integer truncation bug
in comparison functions.
### Code Change Analysis
**Before (buggy):**
```c
return resource_size(entry2->res) - resource_size(entry1->res);
```
This subtracts two `resource_size_t` (which is `u64` on 64-bit systems)
values and returns the result as an `int` (32-bit). If the difference
exceeds `INT_MAX` or the subtraction wraps around (since
`resource_size_t` is unsigned), the truncated 32-bit value can have the
wrong sign.
**After (fixed):**
```c
size1 = resource_size(entry1->res);
size2 = resource_size(entry2->res);
if (size1 > size2)
return -1;
if (size1 < size2)
return 1;
return 0;
```
This is the canonical safe way to write a comparison function, returning
-1, 0, or 1 directly.
### Bug Impact
This function is used by `list_sort()` to sort DMA ranges by size
(descending order). An invalid sort order means:
1. **DMA ranges may not be sorted correctly**, which affects BAR
configuration in `cdns_pcie_host_bar_config()`.
2. The Cadence PCIe host controller relies on this sorting to assign
BARs to inbound memory regions. If large regions are not processed
first (as intended by the descending sort), BAR assignment could fail
or produce suboptimal/incorrect mappings.
3. This could lead to **PCIe enumeration failures** or **incorrect
memory mappings** on systems using the Cadence PCIe controller
(common in embedded/SoC platforms).
The bug is triggered when resource sizes differ by more than 2^31 bytes
(2 GiB), which is realistic for modern systems with large DMA regions.
### Stable Criteria Check
1. **Obviously correct and tested**: Yes - the fix is a textbook
correction of an integer truncation bug in a comparator. Reviewed and
merged by the PCI subsystem maintainer (Bjorn Helgaas).
2. **Fixes a real bug**: Yes - integer truncation causing invalid sort
order is a real bug that can cause incorrect BAR configuration.
3. **Important issue**: Moderate - incorrect PCIe BAR configuration can
cause device failures on affected platforms.
4. **Small and contained**: Yes - the change is minimal (about 10 lines
changed in a single function), localized to one comparator function.
5. **No new features**: Correct - this is purely a bug fix.
6. **Applies cleanly**: The change is self-contained with no
dependencies.
### Risk Assessment
- **Risk**: Very low. The change replaces an incorrect arithmetic
comparison with the standard -1/0/1 pattern. There's no way this can
introduce a regression.
- **Scope**: Single function in a single file, affecting only the
Cadence PCIe host controller driver.
- **Benefit**: Correct DMA range sorting for systems with large memory
regions using Cadence PCIe.
### Subsystem Relevance
The Cadence PCIe controller IP is used in several SoCs (TI, Renesas,
etc.), so this affects real embedded/industrial platforms that are
likely running stable kernels.
### Conclusion
This is a clear, small, obviously correct bug fix for an integer
truncation issue that can cause incorrect PCI BAR configuration. It
meets all stable kernel criteria with minimal risk.

[ Upstream commit c41e2fb67e26b04d919257875fa954aa5f6e392e ]
Platform, ACPI, or IOMMU drivers call pci_request_acs(), which sets
'pci_acs_enable' to request that ACS be enabled for any devices enumerated
in the future.
OF platforms called pci_enable_acs() for the first device before
of_iommu_configure() called pci_request_acs(), so ACS was never enabled for
that device (typically a Root Port).
Call pci_enable_acs() later, from pci_dma_configure(), after
of_dma_configure() has had a chance to call pci_request_acs().
Here's the call path, showing the move of pci_enable_acs() from
pci_acs_init() to pci_dma_configure(), where it always happens after
pci_request_acs():
pci_device_add
pci_init_capabilities
pci_acs_init
- pci_enable_acs
- if (pci_acs_enable) <-- previous test
- ...
device_add
bus_notify(BUS_NOTIFY_ADD_DEVICE)
iommu_bus_notifier
iommu_probe_device
iommu_init_device
dev->bus->dma_configure
pci_dma_configure # pci_bus_type.dma_configure
of_dma_configure
of_iommu_configure
pci_request_acs
pci_acs_enable = 1 <-- set
+ pci_enable_acs
+ if (pci_acs_enable) <-- new test
+ ...
bus_probe_device
device_initial_probe
...
really_probe
dev->bus->dma_configure
pci_dma_configure # pci_bus_type.dma_configure
...
pci_enable_acs
Note that we will now call pci_enable_acs() twice for every device, first
from the iommu_probe_device() path and again from the really_probe() path.
Presumably that's not an issue since we also call dev->bus->dma_configure()
twice.
For the ACPI platforms, pci_request_acs() is called during ACPI
initialization time itself, independent of the IOMMU framework.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
The commit under review builds on the existing `pci_enable_acs()`
infrastructure. The key dependency is on `f3c3ccc4fe49d` ("PCI: Fix
pci_enable_acs() support for the ACS quirks") from v6.12 era, which
restructured `pci_enable_acs()` and `pci_dev_specific_enable_acs()`. The
code structure in the diff matches what's in current mainline,
suggesting this applies to the current code layout which includes the
ACS refactoring from 6.11/6.12.
### 6. STABLE KERNEL ASSESSMENT
**Meets stable criteria:**
- **Fixes a real bug**: ACS not being enabled on the first PCI device on
OF platforms
- **Obviously correct**: Simply moves a function call to after its
dependency is satisfied
- **Small and contained**: ~30 lines changed across 3 files, all in PCI
subsystem
- **No new features**: Just reorders existing functionality
- **Tested**: Two Tested-by tags
- **Written by subsystem experts**: PCI maintainer involvement
**Concerns:**
- The commit depends on the `pci_enable_acs()` refactoring from
`47c8846a49ba` ("PCI: Extend ACS configurability") and its fix
`f3c3ccc4fe49d`. These are from v6.11/v6.12 timeframe, so they should
be in recent stable trees but may not be in older LTS trees (5.15,
5.10). The backport would need to be adapted for trees where
`pci_enable_acs()` has a different structure.
- For recent stable trees (6.6+, 6.12+) this should apply cleanly or
with minor adjustments.
### 7. CONCLUSION
This is a real bug fix for OF/DT platforms where ACS is never enabled on
the first PCI device (Root Port). This impacts IOMMU isolation, device
passthrough, and security. The fix is small, surgical, well-understood,
and tested. It moves an existing function call to the correct point in
the initialization sequence. The risk is low — the function is
idempotent and the change doesn't alter any logic, only timing.
The primary concern is dependency on ACS refactoring in newer kernels,
but for stable trees that have that infrastructure, this is a clear
backport candidate.

Alan (CCed) reported a regression (see below for details) since 6.12.75
bisected to this change that a revert can fix. The change made it to
v6.18.16, v6.6.128, v6.1.165, v5.15.202, v5.10.252, too. But 6.18.17
works fine for Alan.
Is there maybe something missing in older series that causes this
problem? And if not: should this be reverted
Anyway, here is the report:

iommu group captures across multiple kernels
OVERVIEW:
I isolated a regression in IOMMU groups to Linux Kernel 6.12.75. I use
GPU passthrough and need my two GPUs to be in IOMMU groups that can be
passed-through. If the GPUs are collapsed into group 0 they can no
longer be passed-through to a VM.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
I captured my iommu groups on various kernels using this script:
```
kernel=$(uname -r)
echo "Kernel: $kernel"
echo ""
for g in /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/*/devices/*; do
group=$(echo "$g" | grep -oP 'iommu_groups/\K[0-9]+')
device=$(basename "$g")
desc=$(${pkgs.pciutils}/bin/lspci -nns "$device" 2>/dev/null || echo
"unknown")
echo "Group $group: $device $desc"
done | sort -t' ' -k2 -n
```
If the GPUs are in Group 0 then my VMs break.
RESULTS on Kernel 6.12.74 ✅:
Group 14: 0000:01:00.0 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA
Corporation AD107GL [RTX 2000 / 2000E Ada Generation] [10de:28b0] (rev a1)
...
Group 18: 0000:05:00.0 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel
Corporation DG2 [Arc A310] [8086:56a6] (rev 05)
RESULTS on Kernel 6.12.75 ❌:
Group 0: 0000:01:00.0 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA
Corporation AD107GL [RTX 2000 / 2000E Ada Generation] [10de:28b0] (rev a1)
...
Group 0: 0000:05:00.0 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel
Corporation DG2 [Arc A310] [8086:56a6] (rev 05)
I also tested:
Kernel 6.12.75 with the following patch reverted and the issue was fixed
and my groups were correct again:
"PCI: Enable ACS after configuring IOMMU for OF platforms"
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=7a126c1b6cfa2c4b5a7013164451ecddd210110d
I also tested:
kernel 6.12.76 => broken ❌
kernel 6.18.17 => good ✅
kernel 6.19.7 => good ✅
You can find the full script output for all the above kernels in the
attached captures.zip

[ Upstream commit beb2f81792a8a619e5122b6b24a374861309c54b ]
User forums report issues when assigning ASM1164 SATA controllers to VMs,
especially in configurations with multiple controllers. Logs show the
device fails to retrain after bus reset. Reports suggest this is an issue
across multiple platforms. The device indicates support for PM reset,
therefore the device still has a viable function level reset mechanism.
The reporting user confirms the device is well behaved in this use case
with bus reset disabled.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
## Analysis of PCI: Mark ASM1164 SATA controller to avoid bus reset
### Commit Message Analysis
The commit adds a PCI quirk for the ASMedia ASM1164 SATA controller to
disable bus reset. The problem is clearly described: when assigning
these controllers to VMs via VFIO/PCI passthrough, the device fails to
retrain after a bus reset. This is particularly problematic in
configurations with multiple controllers. The device still supports PM
reset (power management reset) as an alternative reset mechanism, so
disabling bus reset doesn't leave the device without any reset
capability.
Key indicators:
- **Reported-by** tag from a real user (Patrick Bianchi)
- **Link** to a Proxmox forum thread documenting the issue across
multiple platforms
- Author is Alex Williamson, the VFIO maintainer at NVIDIA — a highly
authoritative source for PCI passthrough quirks
- Reviewed/committed by Bjorn Helgaas, the PCI subsystem maintainer
### Code Change Analysis
The change is a single `DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_HEADER` macro invocation with
an accompanying comment:
```c
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_HEADER(PCI_VENDOR_ID_ASMEDIA, 0x1164,
quirk_no_bus_reset);
```
This calls the existing `quirk_no_bus_reset()` function, which sets the
`PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_BUS_RESET` flag on the device. The function already
exists and is used by multiple other devices (Atheros, Cavium, TI
KeyStone) in the same file. This is purely a data addition — matching a
specific vendor:device ID pair to an existing quirk handler.
### Classification: Hardware Quirk
This falls squarely into the **PCI Quirks** exception category for
stable backporting:
- It's a hardware-specific workaround for a broken/buggy device
- It uses an existing, well-tested mechanism (`quirk_no_bus_reset`)
- It only affects the specific ASMedia ASM1164 device (vendor ID
ASMEDIA, device ID 0x1164)
- Zero risk to any other hardware or code path
### Scope and Risk Assessment
- **Lines changed**: ~10 (comment + 1 functional line)
- **Files touched**: 1 (`drivers/pci/quirks.c`)
- **Risk**: Extremely low — this only affects the specific PCI device
ID, and only when bus reset is attempted (primarily VFIO passthrough
scenarios)
- **Dependencies**: None — `PCI_VENDOR_ID_ASMEDIA` and
`quirk_no_bus_reset` already exist in stable kernels
### User Impact
- **Who is affected**: Users doing PCI passthrough of ASM1164 SATA
controllers to VMs (Proxmox, QEMU/KVM, etc.)
- **Severity without fix**: Device fails to retrain after bus reset,
making VM assignment of these controllers unreliable or non-
functional, especially with multiple controllers
- **The forum thread** indicates this affects multiple users across
multiple platforms — it's a real, reproducible issue
- ASMedia SATA controllers are very common consumer/prosumer hardware
### Stability Indicators
- Alex Williamson (VFIO maintainer) authored it — he's the authority on
PCI passthrough issues
- Bjorn Helgaas (PCI maintainer) committed it — reviewed and approved by
the subsystem maintainer
- The pattern is identical to existing quirks for Atheros, Cavium, and
TI devices that are already in stable trees
- User confirmed the fix resolves the issue
### Dependency Check
No dependencies. The `quirk_no_bus_reset` function,
`DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_HEADER` macro, and `PCI_VENDOR_ID_ASMEDIA` all exist
in stable kernels. This will apply cleanly to any stable tree.
### Conclusion
This is a textbook example of a PCI quirk that belongs in stable trees.
It's a minimal, zero-risk, single-device-ID addition that uses an
existing well-tested mechanism to fix a real hardware issue reported by
real users. It was authored and reviewed by the relevant subsystem
maintainers. The pattern is identical to many existing quirks already in
stable.

From: Richard Zhu <hongxing.zhu@nxp.com>
[ Upstream commit 27a064aba2da6bc58fc36a6b8e889187ae3bf89d ]
The CLKREQ# is an open drain, active low signal that is driven low by
the card to request reference clock. It's an optional signal added in
PCIe CEM r4.0, sec 2. Thus, this signal wouldn't be driven low if it's
not exposed on the slot.
On the i.MX95 EVK board, REFCLK to the host and endpoint is gated by this
CLKREQ# signal. So if the CLKREQ# signal is not driven by the endpoint, it
will gate the REFCLK to host too, leading to operational failure.
Hence, enable the REFCLK on this SoC by enabling the CLKREQ# override using
imx95_pcie_clkreq_override() helper during probe. This override should only
be cleared when the CLKREQ# signal is exposed on the slot.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
This is very instructive. The same author (Richard Zhu) previously fixed
the same kind of issue for i.MX8MM — CLKREQ# not being asserted causing
operational failures. That commit had a `Fixes:` tag and was clearly a
bug fix. This commit for i.MX95 is the same pattern — the same bug, same
root cause, same type of fix, just for a different SoC.
### Summary Assessment
**What the commit fixes**: On i.MX95, PCIe is non-functional when the
endpoint doesn't drive the CLKREQ# signal (which is optional per PCIe
CEM spec). Without this fix, the reference clock to the host is gated,
causing complete operational failure of PCIe.
**Nature of the fix**: This is a hardware workaround — it enables
CLKREQ# override so the reference clock isn't gated. It's analogous to
the `imx8mm_pcie_enable_ref_clk` which does the same thing (assert
CLKREQ# override) for i.MX8MQ/8MM/8MP.
**Dependencies**: The `enable_ref_clk` callback infrastructure (commit
256867b74625a) must be present. This was added in the 6.11 timeframe
along with i.MX95 support. The code should exist in stable trees that
have i.MX95 support.
**Risk**: Very low — only affects i.MX95 PCIe. Simple register writes.
Uses well-established callback pattern already in use by all other SoC
variants.
**User impact**: HIGH for i.MX95 users — PCIe may be completely non-
functional without this fix when CLKREQ# is not driven by the endpoint.
**Stable criteria**:
- Fixes a real bug (PCIe non-functional) — YES
- Obviously correct (simple register writes, tested, reviewed) — YES
- Small and contained (~30 lines, single file) — YES
- No new features (it's a hardware workaround for existing platform) —
YES
This is essentially a hardware quirk/workaround that makes an existing
driver work correctly. It falls squarely into the category of hardware-
specific workarounds that are acceptable for stable backporting. The
same class of fix was previously done for i.MX8MM with a `Fixes:` tag.
**YES**

[ Upstream commit 1f5e57c622b4dc9b8e7d291d560138d92cfbe5bf ]
Like pci_bus_lock(), pci_slot_lock() needs to lock the bridge device to
prevent warnings like:
pcieport 0000:e2:05.0: unlocked secondary bus reset via: pciehp_reset_slot+0x55/0xa0
Take and release the lock for the bridge providing the slot for the
lock/trylock and unlock routines.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
The commit is not yet in this tree. That's fine - it's a candidate being
evaluated.
### SUMMARY
**What the commit fixes**: `pci_slot_lock()`, `pci_slot_unlock()`, and
`pci_slot_trylock()` don't lock the bridge device providing the slot,
unlike their `pci_bus_*()` counterparts which were fixed in v6.11
(commit `a4e772898f8bf`). This causes:
1. Warnings about "unlocked secondary bus reset" during PCIe hotplug
slot reset
2. A real synchronization gap - the bridge device can be accessed
concurrently during slot reset operations
**Why it matters for stable**:
- Fixes a real locking bug that triggers warnings and could lead to
races during PCI hotplug operations
- PCIe hotplug is widely used (servers, Thunderbolt, NVMe)
- The fix follows an established, proven pattern (mirrors what
`pci_bus_lock()` already does)
- Small, surgical change (~20 lines of logic in one file)
- Written by Keith Busch (PCI/NVMe expert), committed by Bjorn Helgaas
(PCI maintainer), reviewed by Dan Williams
- No new features, no API changes
**Dependencies**: Requires commit `a4e772898f8bf` ("PCI: Add missing
bridge lock to pci_bus_lock()") which is in v6.11+. May also depend on
`f3efb9569b4a2` ("PCI: Fix lock symmetry in pci_slot_unlock()") from
v6.16-rc1. The backport would need to target only stable trees that
contain the prerequisite.
**Risk**: Very low. The change adds symmetric lock/unlock operations
following an identical pattern already proven in `pci_bus_lock()`. The
trylock path correctly handles contention (unlocks bridge on failure).
This is a clear bug fix - missing synchronization during PCI slot reset
operations - that is small, well-reviewed, follows a proven pattern, and
fixes a real locking issue. It meets all stable kernel criteria.
**YES**
