Subject: TI PCIe-PCI bridge quirks
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 14:01:06 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8a15eb2b0909221201k70b9e9darc6fda53f87bfae29@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

The TI XIO2000A/XIO2200A PCIe-PCI bridge (VID: 104C, DID: 8231)
erroneously handles fast back-to-back transfers on its subordinate bus
segment.  The behavior is seen when there are multiple devices
downstream and transfers from both devices result in a fast b2b
transfer.  This confuses the PCIe-PCI bridge and results in data
corruption.

One way to work around the buggy bridge would be to disable fast b2b
transfers on any device on the subordinate bus-segment by writing the
appropriate bits in the device's pci-configspace command register.

Are there any suggestions on how this might be handled?  Should this
be addressed in the kernel?

Thanks,
Gabe Black
