dmesg

While testing on latest upstream kernel(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/) we noticed that with the merge commit (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d0a231f01e5b25bacd23e6edc7c979a18a517b2b)
hotplug and hotunplug of nvme drives stopped working.

Rescan PCI does not help.
echo "1" > /sys/bus/pci/rescan

Issue does not reproduce on a kernel built on an antecedent commit(88db8458086b1dcf20b56682504bdb34d2bca0e2).


During hot-remove device does not disappear, however when we try to do I/O on the disk then there is an I/O error, and the device disappears.

Before I/O no logs regarding the disk appeared in the dmesg, only after I/O the entries appeared like below:
[  177.943703] nvme nvme5: controller is down; will reset: CSTS=0xffffffff, PCI_STATUS=0xffff
[  177.971661] nvme 10000:0b:00.0: can't change power state from D3cold to D0 (config space inaccessible)

OS: RHEL 8.4 GA
Platform: Intel Purley

The logs are collected on a non-recent upstream kernel, but a issue also occurs on the newest upstream kernel(dd81e1c7d5fb126e5fbc5c9e334d7b3ec29a16a0)

Summary from the email thread at https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220124214635.GA1553164@bhelgaas:

Issue only occurs when booting with "pci=nommconf" and is related to 04b12ef163d1 ("PCI: vmd: Honor ACPI _OSC on PCIe features") [1].

Prior to 04b12ef163d1, when booting with "pci=nommconf", pciehp hotplug did not work for devices in general because Linux requires support for extended config before it requests control of PCIe features [2, 3, 4].  However, hotplug *did* work for devices below a VMD because VMD acts like a host bridge and inherited the default "native_pcie_hotplug" setting [5], lwhich is "OS owns pciehp".

After 04b12ef163d1, VMD inherits the real ACPI host bridge "native_pcie_hotplug" setting, which is "platform owns pciehp" since Linux didn't ask for control of it.  Therefore, pciehp hotplug doesn't work for *any* devices.

We can avoid the issue by omitting the "pci=nommconf" parameter.  In that case, Linux *will* request control of pciehp, and hotplug will work for all devices, including those below a VMD.
