[PATCH v6] pci: prevent putting nvidia GPUs into lower device states on certain intel bridges

Tue Mar 3 10:10:52 UTC 2020


Fixes state transitions of Nvidia Pascal GPUs from D3cold into higher device
states.

v2: convert to pci_dev quirk
    put a proper technical explanation of the issue as a in-code comment
v3: disable it only for certain combinations of intel and nvidia hardware
v4: simplify quirk by setting flag on the GPU itself
v5: restructure quirk to make it easier to add new IDs
    fix whitespace issues
    fix potential NULL pointer access
    update the quirk documentation
v6: move quirk into nouveau

+/*
+ * On some Intel PCIe bridge controllers doing a
+ * D0 -> D3hot -> D3cold -> D0 sequence causes Nvidia GPUs to not reappear.
+ * Skipping the intermediate D3hot step seems to make it work again. Thise is
+ * probably caused by not meeting the expectation the involved AML code has
+ * when the GPU is put into D3hot state before invoking it.
+ *
+ * This leads to various manifestations of this issue:
+ *  - AML code execution to power on the GPU hits an infinite loop (as the
+ *    code waits on device memory to change).
+ *  - kernel crashes, as all PCI reads return -1, which most code isn't able
+ *    to handle well enough.
+ *
+ * In all cases dmesg will contain at least one line like this:
+ * 'nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Refused to change power state, currently in D3'
+ * followed by a lot of nouveau timeouts.
+ *
+ * In the \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PG00._OFF code deeper down writes bit 0x80 to the not
+ * documented PCI config space register 0x248 of the Intel PCIe bridge
+ * controller (0x1901) in order to change the state of the PCIe link between
+ * the PCIe port and the GPU. There are alternative code paths using other
+ * registers, which seem to work fine (executed pre Windows 8):
+ *  - 0xbc bit 0x20 (publicly available documentation claims 'reserved')
+ *  - 0xb0 bit 0x10 (link disable)
+ * Changing the conditions inside the firmware by poking into the relevant
+ * addresses does resolve the issue, but it seemed to be ACPI private memory
+ * and not any device accessible memory at all, so there is no portable way of
+ * changing the conditions.
+ * On a XPS 9560 that means bits [0,3] on \CPEX need to be cleared.
+ *
+ * The only systems where this behavior can be seen are hybrid graphics laptops
+ * with a secondary Nvidia Maxwell, Pascal or Turing GPU. Its unclear wheather
+ * this issue only occurs in combination with listed Intel PCIe bridge
+ * controllers and the mentioned GPUs or other devices as well.
+ *
+ * documentation on the PCIe bridge controller can be found in the
+ * "7th Generation Intel® Processor Families for H Platforms Datasheet Volume 2"
+ * Section "12 PCI Express* Controller (x16) Registers"
