The Linux PCI core support for ASPM is poor. Without more details, it's impossible to tell whether these issues are hardware or firmware defects on the device itself, or something that Linux is doing wrong. There are several known defects, especially related to L1 substates and hotplug. We already have the "pcie_aspm=off" kernel parameter. That's system-wide, but maybe that's sufficient for debugging? If we can determine that a device is broken, quirks along the lines of quirk_disable_aspm_l0s() are one possibility. > Here this attribute only controls whether the device actively enters > ASPM states.

Maybe not because this is auto- > negotiated between the PCIe link partners. Drivers should not be involved in ASPM except to the extent that there are hardware/firmware defects that mean some ASPM states should be disabled even though the device advertises support for them. Some ASPM configuration requires knowledge of latencies along the entire path to the root complex, so it involves more than just the device, and it really should be done by the PCI core before the driver is attached. > Based on the usage of pci_disable_link_state() not that many devices > seem to be effected.
