Does AER read registers from the now-disabled device and get ~0 data? Or is AER reading registers from the port upstream from the disabled device and trying to reset the device? It looks like get_device_error_info() reads registers and doesn't check to see whether it gets ~0 back. I'm wondering if we *should* be checking there and whether doing that would help mitigate the issue here. I don't really like the pcie_port_query_uptream_service() approach (BTW, the name is misspelled) because it feels a little ad hoc and it makes assumptions here in the AER code about what the DPC code is doing, e.g., how it has configured PCI_EXP_DPC_CTL. > if (severity == AER_FATAL) > state = pci_channel_io_frozen; > else > -- > Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies, Inc. as an affiliate of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., > a Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. is a member of the Code Aurora Forum, a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project. > > > _______________________________________________ > linux-arm-kernel mailing list > linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org > http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

The issue is two independent software entities are trying to recover the PCIe link simultaneously. AER and DPC have two different approaches to link recovery. AER makes a callback into the endpoint drivers for non-fatal errors and hope that endpoint driver can recover the link. AER also makes a callback in the fatal error case but resets the link via secondary bus reset. The DPC on the other hand stops the drivers immediately since HW took care of link disable. (Endpoint register reads return ~0 at this point.) DPC driver clears the interrupt from the DPC capability and brings the link up at the end. Full enumeration/rescan follows this procedure to go back to functioning state. If we don't have this AER-DPC coordination, the endpoint driver gets confused since it receives a stop command as well as a recover command at about the same time depending on the timing. Whether the AER driver reads ~0 or not really depends on timing. The link may come up from the DPC driver by the time AER driver reaches here as an example. Bad things do happen. We have seen this with e1000e driver. Sinan

I'm just trying to understand exactly *what* bad things happen and how, so we can fix them cleanly. I don't know exactly what you mean by "DPC stops the drivers immediately". Since the DPC hardware disables the Link, I *think* you probably mean that driver accesses to the device start failing (whether the driver notices this is a whole different question). When the DPC hardware disables the Link, it causes a hot reset for downstream components. The DPC interrupt_event_handler() doesn't do much except remove the device (which detaches the driver) and clear the DPC Trigger Status bit (which allows hardware to try to retrain the Link). So the "stop" and "recover" commands you mention must be related to AER. I guess these would be some of the driver callbacks (error_detected(), mmio_enabled(), slot_reset(), reset_prepare(), reset_done(), resume())? In any case, I agree that it probably doesn't make sense to call any of these callbacks if the DPC driver has already detached the driver and re-attached it. The device state is gone because of the hot reset and the driver state is gone because of the detach/re-attach. However, I'm not so sure about the period *before* the DPC driver detaches the driver. The description of error_detected() says it cannot assume the device is accessible, so I think there might be an argument that AER *should* call this for DPC events so the driver has a chance to clean up before being unceremoniously detached. I suspect this all probably requires tighter integration between DPC and AER, and I'm totally fine with that. I think the current separation as separate "drivers" is pretty artificial anyway.

Sorry for not being clear. I was talking about the pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device() call in DPC's interrupt_event_handler() function as the "stop command". > > When the DPC hardware disables the Link, it causes a hot reset for > downstream components.

I think the current > separation as separate "drivers" is pretty artificial anyway. Got it. We will try to plumb DPC error handling into AER driver's error handling mechanism. Another question: What do you think about the rescan following link up? The only entity that does rescan today is hotplug after DPC recovery. There could be a platform with DPC support but no hotplug support. How should we handle it? We can call rescan from DPC all the time.

I didn't look in detail, but I'm not sure there's sufficient locking in the AER path to make it safe from concurrent device removal. I suspect AER could be improved both with respect to handling ~0 data and this potential concurrency issue. > > So the "stop" and "recover" commands you mention must be related to > > AER. > > I was talking about pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device() vs. error_detected() > as "stop" and "recover" Thanks for clearing that up! > > I suspect this all probably requires tighter integration between DPC > > and AER, and I'm totally fine with that.

Looking at the AER code today, I noticed it already uses "DPC" in another sense. I don't know what it stands for there (probably "deferred" something), but I don't think it's "Downstream Port Containment" :) > What do you think about the rescan following link up?

If your system does support both DPC and hotplug, I assume the link comes back up after you clear DPC Trigger Status. Does pciehp notice that "link up" event and add the device back? So I think your question is whether the DPC code should explicitly do a rescan so that if we don't have pciehp, we'll still automatically rediscover the device. I dunno, maybe. Seems like a plausible idea anyway.

This is what the DPC driver does in its interrupt handler. http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/ident/interrupt_event_handler My understanding is that this will eventually call the remove() function on the endpoint driver eventually. Bjorn had concerns that we are not calling the error handler if registered and then calling remove() callback while the driver is in the middle of something could be bad. He had concerns if remove() would leave something in a bad state so recovery would really not work at all and kernel crashes eventually due to data corruption. Oza and I are looking for a way to plumb DPC's error handling into AER driver so that PCI framework has a single place to look for error handling. for dpc: 1. If an error handler registered, call it for all children devices 2. Remove all children devices from the bus 3. Recover the link with DPC 4. Rescan the entire bus and install the drivers again > >> DPC driver clears >> the interrupt from the DPC capability and brings the link up at the end.

We can add a policy parameter and not bring up the link if you want to do troubleshooting at the point of failure or have a way to define how the system response should be. DPC causes a hot reset on the bus. Endpoint should go to reset state and we should be able to bring up the link without any problems under normal circumstances.

PCI Express Base Specification, Rev. 4.0 Version 0.9 6.2.10: Downstream Port Containment (DPC) DPC is an optional normative feature of a Downstream Port. DPC halts PCI Express traffic below a Downstream Port after an unmasked uncorrectable error is detected at or below the Port, avoiding the potential spread of any data corruption, and permitting error recovery if supported by software Triggering DPC disables its Link by directing the LTSSM to the Disabled state. Once the LTSSM reaches the Disabled state, it remains in that state until the DPC Trigger Status bit is Cleared So when DPC service is active and registered to port driver, AER should not attempt to recover, since DPC will be removing downstream devices, and do the recovery.
