Any > update by the PCI core in that interval would be lost. Any update to PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_ASPMC field in that interval is lost yes, the updates to _the other fields_ in LNKCTL are not lost. I know this might result in drivers/pci/pcie/aspm.c disagreeing what the state of the ASPM is (as shown under sysfs) compared with LNKCTL value but the cause can no longer be due racing RMW. Essentially, 4) is seen as an override to what core did if it changed ASPMC in between. Technically, something is still "lost" like you say but for a different reason than this series is trying to fix. > Straw-man proposal: > > - Change pci_disable_link_state() so it ignores aspm_disabled and > always disables ASPM even if platform firmware hasn't granted > ownership.

However, I'm a bit hesitant to take that leap in one step. These drivers currently not only disable ASPM but also re-enable it (assuming we guessed the intent right). If I directly implement that proposal, ASPM is not going to be re-enabled when PCI core does not allowing it. Could it cause some power related regression? My plan is to make another patch series after these to realize exactly what you're proposing. It would allow better to isolate the problems that related to the lack of ASPM. I hope this two step approach is an acceptable way forward? I can of course add those patches on top of these if that would be preferrable.

Now that I took a deeper look into what pci_disable_link_state() and pci_enable_link_state() do, I realized they're not really disable/enable pair like I had assumed from their names. Disable adds to ->aspm_disable and flags are never removed from that because enable does not touch aspm_disable at all but has it's own flag variable. This asymmetry looks intentional. So if ath drivers would do pci_disable_link_state() to realize 1)-3), there is no way to undo it in 4). It looks as if ath drivers would actually want to use pci_enable_link_state() with different state parameters to realize what they want to do in 1)-4). Any suggestion which way I should go with these ath drivers here, use pci_enable_link_state()? (There are other drivers where pci_disable_link_state() is very much valid thing to do.)

Could it cause some power related > regression? IIUC the potential problem only happens with: - A platform that enables ASPM but doesn't grant PCIe Capability ownership to the OS, and - A device where we force-disable ASPM, presumably to avoid some hardware defect. I'm not sure this case is worth worrying about. A platform that enables ASPM without allowing the OS to disable it is taking a risk because it can't know about these device defects or even about user preferences. A device that has an ASPM-related defect may use more power than necessary. I think that's to be expected. > My plan is to make another patch series after these to realize exactly > what you're proposing.

I can of > course add those patches on top of these if that would be preferrable. I think two steps is OK. It's a little more work for the driver maintainers to review them, but this step is pretty trivial already reviewed (except for the GPUs, which are probably the most important :)). Bjorn
