[PATCH 1/3] PCI: Make PCIE_RESET_READY_POLL_MS configurable

[Stanislav Spassov]

From: Wei Wang <wawei@amazon.de>

The resonable value for the maximum time to wait for a PCI device to be
ready after reset varies depending on the platform and the reliability
of its set of devices.

There are several mechanisms in the spec for reducing these times,
e.g., Readiness Notifications (PCIe r5.0, sec 6.23), the Readiness
Time Reporting capability (sec 7.9.17), and ACPI _DSM methods (PCI
Firmware Spec r3.2, sec 4.6.8, 4.6.9).

I would much rather use standard mechanisms like those instead of
adding kernel parameters.  A user would have to use trial and error
to figure out the value to use with a parameter like this, and that
doesn't feel like a robust approach.

I agree that supporting the standard mechanisms is highly desirable,
but some sort of fallback poll timeout value is necessary on platforms
where none of those mechanisms are supported. Arguably, some kernel
configurability (whether via a kernel parameter, as proposed here,
or some other means) is still desirable.

I also agree there is no robust method to determine a "good value", but
then again - how was the current value for the constant determined? As
suggested in PATCH 2, the idea is to lower the global timeout to avoid
hung tasks when devices break and never come back after reset.

Linux already (partially) supports the _DSM methods you mention:
- acpi_pci_add_bus() queries Function 8 (described in 4.6.8) to set
  ignore_reset_delay on the host bridge
- pci_acpi_optimize_delay() uses Function 9 to set d3cold_delay and d3_delay
  in struct pci_dev, but does not currently store the DL_Up Time,
  FLR Reset Time and VF Enable Time
I guess we can extend pci_struct akin to what PATCH 2 does to store all
relevant delay values on a per-device basis, with some default value and
overriding them as appropriate from Readiness Time Reporting, _DSM, or a quirk.

Unfortunately, the hardware and firmware at my disposal does not support
any of the discussed mechanisms, so I do not feel comfortable making the changes
without being able to test them.

IIUC we basically have two issues: 1) the default 60 second timeout is
too long, and 2) you'd like to reduce the delays further à la the
Device Readiness _DSM even for firmware that doesn't support that.

The 60 second timeout came from 821cdad5c46c ("PCI: Wait up to 60
seconds for device to become ready after FLR") and is probably too
long.  We probably should pick a smaller value based on numbers from
the spec and make quirks for devices that needed more time.

As far as reducing delays for specific devices, if we can identify
them via Vendor/Device ID, can we make per-device values that could be
set either by the _DSM or by a quirk?

I'm trying to wriggle out of adding yet more PCI kernel parameters
because people tend to stumble across them and pass them around on
bulletin boards as ways to "fix" or "speed up" things that really
should be addressed in better ways.

I don't remember exactly how we came up with 60 seconds; I suspect it
was just a convenient large number.

If I remember right, there was no time mention about how long to
wait. Spec says device should send CRS as long as it is not ready.

Not exactly.. there are some requirements to follow for rules after
a conventional reset. 

Look for "The second set of rules addresses requirements placed on the system"

i'm looking a the 5.0 spec (around page 553) :-). 

In general 1s seems good enough for most cases. For ports that support
> 5gt/s transfer speed, it says 100ms after link training completes.
I'm not sure if this means 100ms after getting a DLLSC event?

Yes, but CRS happens after functional reset, D3hot etc. too not just
conventional reset.

1 second is too aggressive. We already have proof that several PCIe
cards take their time during FLR especially FPGA cards in the orders
of 10 seconds.

Current code is waiting up to 60 seconds. If card shows up before that
we happily return.

Aren't the rules specified in 7.9.17 Rediness Time Reporting Extended Capability
sufficient to cover this?

If a device doesn't have them we could let the driver supply this value
as a device specific value to override the default.

But in 7.9.17.2 Readiness Time Reporting 1 Register, says devices
can defer reporting by not setting the valid bit, but if it remains
clear after 60s system software can assume no valid values will be reported.

Maybe keep the system default to something more reasonable (after some
testing in the community), and do this insane 60s for devices that 
support the optional reporting capability?

Ashok

Yes, readiness would work too but it is not a mandatory feature.
Readiness is yet another alternative to CRS advertised as the new
flashy way of doing things. Problem is backwards compatibility.

Do you want to break all existing/legacy drivers for an optional/new
spec defined feature?

I think we should add readiness capability on top of CRS but not
exclusively.

If readiness is supported, do the spec defined behavior.
If not supported, fallback to CRS for legacy devices.

I remember Bjorn mentioning about readiness capability. Maybe, this is
the time to implement it.
