Subject: [PATCH] PCI/ACPI: Fix runtime PM ref imbalance on Hot-Plug Capable
ports

pci_bridge_d3_possible() is called from both pcie_portdrv_probe() and pcie_portdrv_remove() to determine whether runtime power management shall be enabled (on probe) or disabled (on remove) on a PCIe port.

The underlying assumption is that pci_bridge_d3_possible() always returns the same value, else a runtime PM reference imbalance would occur. That assumption is not given if the PCIe port is inaccessible on remove due to
hot-unplug: pci_bridge_d3_possible() calls pciehp_is_native(), which accesses Config Space to determine whether the port is Hot-Plug Capable. An inaccessible port returns "all ones", which is converted to "all zeroes" by pcie_capability_read_dword(). Hence the port no longer seems Hot-Plug Capable on remove even though it was on probe.

The resulting runtime PM ref imbalance causes warning messages such as:

pcieport 0000:02:04.0: Runtime PM usage count underflow!

Avoid the Config Space access (and thus the runtime PM ref imbalance) by caching the Hot-Plug Capable bit in struct pci_dev.

The struct already contains an "is_hotplug_bridge" flag, which however is not only set on Hot-Plug Capable PCIe ports, but also Conventional PCI Hot-Plug bridges and ACPI slots. The flag identifies bridges which are allocated additional MMIO and bus number resources to allow for hierarchy expansion.

The kernel is somewhat sloppily using "is_hotplug_bridge" in a number of places to identify Hot-Plug Capable PCIe ports, even though the flag encompasses other devices. Subsequent commits replace these occurrences with the new flag to clearly delineate Hot-Plug Capable PCIe ports from other kinds of hotplug bridges.

Document the existing "is_hotplug_bridge" and the new "is_pciehp" flag and document the (non-obvious) requirement that pci_bridge_d3_possible() always returns the same value across the entire lifetime of a bridge, including its hot-removal.

PATCH 1/1 PCI/ACPI: Fix runtime PM ref imbalance on Hot-Plug Capable ports

From: Lukas Wunner <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 6cff20ce3b92ffbf2fc5eb9e5a030b3672aa414a ]

pci_bridge_d3_possible() is called from both pcie_portdrv_probe() and pcie_portdrv_remove() to determine whether runtime power management shall be enabled (on probe) or disabled (on remove) on a PCIe port.

The underlying assumption is that pci_bridge_d3_possible() always returns the same value, else a runtime PM reference imbalance would occur. That assumption is not given if the PCIe port is inaccessible on remove due to
hot-unplug: pci_bridge_d3_possible() calls pciehp_is_native(), which accesses Config Space to determine whether the port is Hot-Plug Capable. An inaccessible port returns "all ones", which is converted to "all zeroes" by pcie_capability_read_dword(). Hence the port no longer seems Hot-Plug Capable on remove even though it was on probe.

The resulting runtime PM ref imbalance causes warning messages such as:

pcieport 0000:02:04.0: Runtime PM usage count underflow!

Avoid the Config Space access (and thus the runtime PM ref imbalance) by caching the Hot-Plug Capable bit in struct pci_dev.

The struct already contains an "is_hotplug_bridge" flag, which however is not only set on Hot-Plug Capable PCIe ports, but also Conventional PCI Hot-Plug bridges and ACPI slots. The flag identifies bridges which are allocated additional MMIO and bus number resources to allow for hierarchy expansion.
