[PATCH v2] PCI: dpc: Increase pciehp waiting time for DPC recovery

[LeoLiu-oc]

From: LeoLiu-oc <leoliu-oc@zhaoxin.com>

Commit a97396c6eb13 ("PCI: pciehp: Ignore Link Down/Up caused by DPC")
amended PCIe hotplug to not bring down the slot upon Data Link Layer State
Changed events caused by Downstream Port Containment.

Commit c3be50f7547c ("PCI: pciehp: Ignore Presence Detect Changed caused by
DPC") sought to ignore Presence Detect Changed events occurring as a side
effect of Downstream Port Containment. These commits await recovery from
DPC and then clears events which occurred in the meantime.

However, pciehp_ist() waits up to 4 seconds before assuming that DPC
recovery has failed and disabling the slot. This timeout period is
insufficient for some PCIe devices.

For example, The execution of the ice_pci_err_detected() in the ice network
card driver exceeded the maximum waiting time for DPC recovery, causing the
pciehp_disable_slot() to be executed which is not needed. From the user's
point of view, you will see that the ice network card may not be usable and
could even cause more serious errors, such as a kernel panic. kernel panic
is caused by a race between pciehp_disable_slot() and pcie_do_recovery().
In practice, we would observe that the ice network card is in an
unavailable state and a kernel panic.

Therefore, we need to increase the time that pciehp_ist() waits for the DPC
to recover. For some PCIe devices, the time taken for the error_detected()
to execute may exceed 16 seconds, but the dpc_reset_link() has not yet been
executed. In this situation, the Link Down/Up events and Presence Detect
Changed events that occur during the DPC recovery should also be ignored.

Unfortunately v2 was submitted without answering all of the questions
and testing all of the things asked for during review:
