[PATCH 0/4] nouveau fixes for RPM/Optimus-related hangs

Hi,
Here are two patches to fix an issue reported on kernel bugzilla (infinite loop
due to unchecked function) and a more important fix to fix hanging Optimus
machines when runtime PM is enabled (with pm/pci patches).
An older (obsolete) patch for the first issue was tested by the reporter:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104791#c11
(it is replaced by "check for function 0x1B before using it").
The second issue will occur when:
- A modern Optimus laptop is in use (designed for Windows 8 or newer).
- nouveau runtime PM is enabled (1 or the default -1).
- The patch "PCI: Add runtime PM support for PCIe ports" from Mika is pulled
into v4.7 (or v4.8[1]?) via the pci/pm branch,
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git/commit/?h=pci/pm&id=8b71f5652eeac561acf883da01ab4810f763ee42
(see also the discussion for "[PATCH] PCI: Power on bridges before scanning new
devices" at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.power-management.general/76411)
The first two patches are just refactoring to reduce code duplication (and
scratch an itch) and make the following patches possible. The next two patches
fix the problems reported above.
I intend to get these patches in 4.7 (or the first version where pci/pm gets
merged) to avoid a lockup when runpm is enabled. Note:
- If the fourth patch is merged before/without Mika's PCIe port patch, then
those modern Optimus machines above will not be put into D3cold.
- If the fourth patch is not merged (or merged after Mika's patch), then under
the above conditions the affected machine can lock up.
- The three other patches are unrelated to this issue and can safely be merged.
Tested with:
- Linux v4.6 + pci/pm + these four patches
- Hardware: Clevo P651RA with acpi_osi="!Windows 2015" (the latter is a
workaround for another PCIe issue).
- Card is asleep, woke up with lspci, waited a bit and retried/suspended:
- # lspci -xxxxnnvvvv >/dev/null; sleep 5
- # lspci -xxxxnnvvvv >/dev/null; sleep 5; systemctl suspend
- # lspci -xxxxnnvvvv >/dev/null; systemctl suspend
Kind regards,
Peter
