[PATCH] PCI: layerscape: Change back to the default error response behavior

[Zhiqiang Hou]

From: Hou Zhiqiang <Zhiqiang.Hou@nxp.com>

In the current error response behavior, it will send a SLVERR response
to device's internal AXI slave system interface when the PCIe controller
experiences an erroneous completion (UR, CA and CT) from an external
completer for its outbound non-posted request, which will result in
SError and crash the kernel directly.
This patch change back it to the default behavior to increase the
robustness of the kernel. In the default behavior, it always sends an
OKAY response to the internal AXI slave interface when the controller
gets these erroneous completions. And the AER driver will report and
try to recover these errors.

Possible wording:

  As currently configured, when the PCIe controller receives a
  Completion with UR or CA status, or a Completion Timeout occurs, it
  sends a SLVERR response to the internal AXI slave system interface,
  which results in SError and a kernel crash.

Please add a blank line between paragraphs, and
s/This patch change back it/Change it/ below.

This reverts 84d897d69938 ("PCI: layerscape: Change default error
response behavior"), so please mention that in the commit log,
probably as:

Fixes: 84d897d69938 ("PCI: layerscape: Change default error response behavior")

Maybe it also needs a stable tag, e.g., v4.15+?

Since this is a pure revert, whatever problem 84d897d69938 fixed must
now be fixed in some other way.  Otherwise, this revert would just be
reintroducing the problem fixed by 84d897d69938.

This commit log should mention that what that other fix is.

AER is only a reporting mechanism, it is asynchronous to the
instruction stream, and it's optional (may not be implemented in the
hardware, and may not be supported by the kernel), so I'm not super
convinced that it can be the answer to this problem.

The commit 84d897d69938 ("PCI: layerscape: Change default error response behavior") doesn't fix any issue, it just enable a feature of DesignWare PCIe IP that it allows error response to AXI slave interface, which are not enabled on all other platforms with DWC IP. As mentioned in that commit it will also send an OKAY response to AXI slave interface for erroneous completion of non-post transaction including CFG and MEM_rd transactions, however upstream won't support for platforms aborting on CFG accesses, so we have to change it back to the default error response behavior and bear the error of MEM_rd isn't forwarded, just like other DWC IP platforms.

I remember the SError interrupt mechanism is also asynchronous abort and it is only a reporting mechanism. Contrast with the AER, it will make the kernel crash. So both of these 2 mechanism cannot ensure the data integrity, generally the upper layer data transfer protocol has its own mechanism to ensure the data integrity, it's not a issue for almost users. If one really wants a kernel crash when there is error of MEM_rd, he can enable this in his local code.

I don't think not forwarding any error interrupts is a good idea. Maybe
you could disable it while reading configuration space registers
(vendorID and deviceID) and then enable error forwarding back?

Interrupts would be fine. Abort/SError is not. I think it is pretty
clear what the correct behavior is for config accesses.

To add to the locking (or lack of) problems in config accesses?

IIUC $patch prevents SError in all cases. Doesn't UR, CA and CT all
sends SLVERR which will result in Abort and that is being prevented
here?. Maybe I'm wrong here, Hou can confirm.

If take this approach, during the hole of CFG access, the error of MEM_rd will also not be forwarded, so it's not a reliable mechanism for user.
