Hi Linus, Yinghai !

Please consider reverting:

928bea964827d7824b548c1f8e06eccbbc4d0d7d
PCI: Delay enabling bridges until they're needed

(I'd suggest to revert now and maybe merge a better patch later)

This breaks PCI on the PowerPC "powernv" platform (which is booted via
kexec) and probably x86 as well under similar circumstances. It will
basically break PCIe if the bus master bit of the bridge isn't set at
boot (by the firmware for example, or because kexec'ing cleared it).

The reason is that the PCIe port driver will call pci_enable_device() on
the bridge (on everything under the sun actually), which will marked the
device enabled (but will not do a set_master).

Because of that, pci_enable_bridge() later on (called as a result of the
child device driver doing pci_enable_device) will see the bridge as
already enabled and will not call pci_set_master() on it.

Now, this could probably be fixed by simply doing pci_set_master() in
the PCIe port driver, but I find the whole logic very fragile (anything
that "enables" the bridge without setting master or for some reason
clears master will forever fail to re-enable it).

Maybe a better option is to unconditionally do pci_set_mater() in
pci_enable_bridge(), ie, move the call to before the enabled test.

However I am not too happy with that either. My experience with bridges
is that if bus master isn't set, they will also fail to report AER
errors and other similar upstream transactions. We might want to get
these reported properly even if no downstream device got successfully
enabled.

So I think the premises of the patches are flawed, at least on PCI
express, and we should stick to always enabling bridges (at least the
bus master bit on them).

Cheers,
Ben.

there is pci_set_master everywhere in pci drivers.

So i would like to use the first way that you suggest : call pci_set_master
PCIe port driver.

So I have to say, that if we can fix this with just adding a single
new pci_set_master() call, we should do that before we decide to
revert.

If other, bigger issues then come up, we can decide to revert. But if
there's a one-liner fix, let's just do that first, ok?

Mind sending a patch?

Wouldn't it be better to simply have pci_enable_device() always set bus
master on a bridge? I don't see any case where it makes sense to have
an enabled bridge without the master bit set on it...

That's an option. I was thinking making pci_enable_device() itself
enable bus master on a bridge but yes, you approach should work.

I'm digging a bit more to figure out what went wrong in the
pcie port driver since that's interesting in its own right and I'll then
test your patch which I think is a more robust approach.

Cheers,
Ben.

So this patch works and fixes the problem. I think it makes the whole
thing more robust and should be applied.

I still don't know why the bridge doesn't get enabled properly without
it yes, tracking it down (the machine in question takes a LONG time to
reboot :-)

ok, please if you are ok attached one instead. It will print some warning about
driver skipping pci_set_master, so we can catch more problem with drivers.

Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Workaround missing pci_set_master in pci drivers

BenH found:
| 928bea964827d7824b548c1f8e06eccbbc4d0d7d
| PCI: Delay enabling bridges until they're needed

break PCI on powerpc.  The reason is that the PCIe port driver will
call pci_enable_device() on the bridge, so device enabled (but skip
pci_set_master somehow).

Because of that, pci_enable_bridge() later on (called as a result of the
child device driver doing pci_enable_device) will see the bridge as
already enabled and will not call pci_set_master() on it.

Fixed by add checking in pci_enable_bridge, and call pci_set_master
if driver skip that.

Except that the message is pretty cryptic :-) Especially since the
driver causing the message to be printed is not the one that did
the mistake in the first place, it's the next one coming up that
trips the warning.

In any case, the root cause is indeed the PCIe port driver:

We don't have ACPI, so pcie_port_platform_notify() isn't implemented,
and pcie_ports_auto is true, so we end up with capabilities set to 0.

Thus the port driver bails out before calling pci_set_master(). The fix
is to call pci_set_master() unconditionally. However that lead me to
find to a few interesting oddities in that port driver code:

 - If capabilities is 0, it returns after enabling the device and
doesn't disable it. But if it fails for any other reason later on (such
as failing to enable interrupts), it *will* disable the device. This is
inconsistent. In fact, if it had disabled the device as a result of the
0 capabilities, the problem would also not have happened (the subsequent
enable_bridge done by the e1000e driver would have done the right
thing). I've tested "fixing" that instead of moving the set_master call
and it fixes my problem as well.

 - In get_port_device_capability(), all capabilities are gated by a
combination of the bit in cap_mask and a corresponding HW check of
the presence of the relevant PCIe capability or similar... except
for the VC one, which is solely read from the HW capability. That means
that the platform pcie_port_platform_notify() has no ability to prevent
the VC capability (so if I have a broken bridge that advertises it but
my platform wants to block it, it can't).

 - I am quite nervous with the PCIe port driver disabling bridges. I
understand the intent but what if that bridge has some system device
behind it ? Something you don't even know about (used by ACPI, behind an
ISA bridge for example ?).

I think disabling bridges is a VERY risky proposition at all times
(including during PM) and I don't think the port driver should do it.

Maybe a more robust approach would be to detect one way or another that
the bridge was already enabled and only disable it if it wasn't or
something along those lines (ie ,restore it in the state it was)...

This is not my problem right now of course (in my case the bridge was
disabled to begin with) but I have a long experience with system stuff
hiding behind bridges and the code as it is written makes me a bit
nervous.

Cheers,
Ben.

In the meantime, can you properly submit the other one with the warning
to Linus ? It will make things more robust overall...

Also, please read my other comments. I think we are treading on very
fragile ground with that whole business of potentially disabling bridges
in the pcieport driver ...

Ben,

looks like PCIe port driver does call pci_enable_device AND pci_set_master()

| int pcie_port_device_register(struct pci_dev *dev)
| {
|        int status, capabilities, i, nr_service;
|        int irqs[PCIE_PORT_DEVICE_MAXSERVICES];
|
|        /* Enable PCI Express port device */
|        status = pci_enable_device(dev);
|        if (status)
|                return status;
|
|        /* Get and check PCI Express port services */
|        capabilities = get_port_device_capability(dev);
|        if (!capabilities)
|                return 0;
|
|        pci_set_master(dev);

so how come that pci_set_master is not called for powerpc?

Can you send out lspci -vvxxx with current linus-tree and v3.11?

Ah good point. It should have ... except that there are a number of ways
for get_port_device_capability() to fail and that should *not* leave the
bridge without the bus master capability set.

However I don't think that's what's happening here. I'll have to dig
more, will get back to you.

Cheers,
Ben.
