Subject: [RFC][pci/pm] pci config space save restore issues during suspend/resume
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2020 13:57:06 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADjb_WR1tBHAuP9wZFnx1bJu3ZKAK8BDPMzDwc1-8nX_WVHLvA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,
We found two issues in the code during suspend:

1. Andy Shevchenko found that, the save restore of pci config space
    might cause potential issue. Current code uses
    pci_read_config_dword() to read pci config header. However
    hardware is not obliged to react correctly when trying to read
    two/three 'adjacent' pci config registers with one dword read.

    Q1: Should we save/restore the pci config space header according
    to the PCI spec strictly(pci_read_config_dword() for 32bit, while
pci_read_config_word()
    for 16bits, etc)?

2. The pci config space of some problematic devices(or due to firmware
    bug) might become inaccessible after resumed from S3(suspend to mem)
    on VM.

    Q2: Should we do sanity check on pci config space before saving them?
    Say, invoke pci_dev_is_present() before suspend, if the pci config space is
    not sane, bypass the config space saving process, because there's no need
    to save invalid pci config space.

Comments would be appreciated.

Chenyu
