[PATCH v2 1/1] PCI: brcmstb: Fix regression regarding missing PCIe linkup

Sat May 28 18:15:26 PDT 2022

Hi Jim,

Jim Quinlan <jim2101024 at gmail.com> (2022-05-28):
> commit 93e41f3fca3d ("PCI: brcmstb: Add control of subdevice voltage regulators")
> 
> introduced a regression on the PCIe RPi4 Compute Module.  If the PCIe
> root port DT node described in [2] was missing, no linkup would be attempted,
> and subsequent accesses would cause a panic because this particular PCIe HW
> causes a CPU abort on illegal accesses (instead of returning 0xffffffff).
> 
> We fix this by allowing the DT root port node to be missing, as it behaved
> before the original patchset messed things up.
> 
> In addition, two small changes are made:
> 
>   1. Having pci_subdev_regulators_remove_bus() call
>      regulator_bulk_free() in addtion to regulator_bulk_disable().
>   2. Having brcm_pcie_add_bus() return 0 if there is an
>      error in calling pci_subdev_regulators_add_bus().
>      Instead, we dev_err() and turn on our refusal mode instead.

> It would be best if this commit were tested by someone with a Rpi CM4
> platform, as that is how the regression was found.  I have only emulated

Testing is less flawless than it was with the earlier version, but this
might be related to the fact master has moved a lot since then (from
v5.18-rcX to open merge window).

Overall, it's still a net win over the status quo (broken boot).

Applying your patch on 664a393a2663a0f62fc1b18157ccae33dcdbb8c8 and
performing cold boots is mostly fine:
 - without anything on the PCIe slot;
 - with a PCIe→quad-USB extension board, a USB keyboard and a USB stick
   (both work fine).

However, with an empty PCIe slot, I'm no longer able to perform the
following (which was rock solid, and has been used in all my testing up
to now):
 - boot the exact same Debian stable image as before (running v5.10.y if
   that matters);
 - deploy the patched kernel;
 - enable serial console;
 - reboot into the patched kernel.

PCI-related messages, a call trace, and broken storage:

This last part gets repeated over and over, and storage (external SD
card) never comes up. I can share fuller logs if that's desirable. I can
also test booting with irqpoll if that's desirable. Or anything else that
might help.

I did check that applying the same patch on top of the v5.18 tag gives
good results (cold boots and reboots are fine, with or without an empty
PCIe slot, as that was the case during earlier test sessions), so I'd
guess something changed since then, and makes reboots more brittle than
they used to be.

I can also check applying the v1 patch on top of master and compare
results, to give a different perspective.

But I'd also be happy to get some directions as to which test(s) would
be most beneficial, which would help me cut down on combinatorics.

Cheers,
