From: Sasha Neftin <sasha.neftin@intel.com>

82579 has a problem reattaching itself after the device is detached.
The bug was reported by Redhat. The suggested fix is to disable
FLR capability in PCIe configuration space.

Reproduction:
Attach the device to a VM, then detach and try to attach again.

Fix:
Disable FLR capability to prevent the 82579 from hanging.

    That asterisk shouldn't be there.

This seems like a pretty fragile quirk since we're just hoping that the
BIOS hasn't already written this byte.  Should we at least re-read and
warn if the write didn't take?  What about using dev_flags or a device
specific reset to make this less fragile?  A device specific reset
could pick the best reset mechanism for the device, ignoring AF FLR.
Thanks,

Alex

Is there a bugzilla or other reference URL to include here?  Should
this be marked for stable?

This doesn't sound like a root cause.  Is the issue a hardware
erratum?  Linux PCI core bug?  VFIO bug?  Device firmware bug?

The changelog suggests that the problem only affects passthrough,
which suggests some sort of kernel bug related to how passthrough is
implemented.

So the author is in Israel, meaning it is their weekend now.  I do not
believe Sasha monitors email over the weekend, so a response to your
questions won't happen for a few days.

I tried searching my archives for more information, but had no luck finding
any additional information.

Hello,

Original bugzilla thread could be found here: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=966840

This is our HW bug, exist only in 82579 devices. More new devices have 
no such problem. We have found root cause and suggested this solution. 
This solution should work for a 95% of cases, so I do not think that 
this is fragile. For another cases possible solution is get up working 
system and manually disable FLR, before VM start use our adapter.

Thanks,

Sasha

If this bug affects all scenarios, not just passthrough, the changelog
should not mention passthrough.

That bugzilla is private and I can't read it.

Is there an erratum you can reference?

I don't think a 95% solution is sufficient.  Can you use the
pci_dev_specific_reset() framework to make a 100% solution?

Hmm, I can, but I don't see anything in it that supports this.  Is that
really the right bz?  It's the right hardware, but has all sorts of FUD
about the version of various other components in the stack.

Right, plus when this does work I suspect it removes the one mechanism
we have to reset the device, which depending on how obscure the failure
scenario is, isn't a clear cut improvement for device assignment.

I agree that we do probably need to update the patch description since
it isn't exactly clear what this is fixing or what was actually
broken.

It looks like we had a local copy of the bugzilla saved here, though
it only goes up to comment 13 which is where I think we started
working this on our side.  I believe what this patch is attempting to
resolve is related to comment 8 where the driver returned "probe of
0000:00:19.0 failed with error ‐2" instead of correctly probing the
interface.

So the bug as reported was that e1000e had a problem reattaching
itself to the PHY after it was attached to a VM.  Sasha, please feel
free to correct me if I have this bit wrong.  I had been told the
problem was the FLR functionality wasn't fully implemented so that was
why they were wanting to defeature it.  I had assumed that there was
support for a reset on D0->D3->D0, but I just realized that probably
isn't the case since it looks like my local system sets the NoSoftRST
bit.

I'll work with Sasha to see what we can do.  Odds are there is some
sort of problem between the MAC/PHY that needs to be resolved when we
perform the function level reset so we will probably need to add code
so that we reset the part and re-establish the link with the PHY after
the reset.

I'll work with Sasha to see what we can do.  Odds are there is some sort of problem between the MAC/PHY that needs to be resolved when we perform the function level reset so we will probably need to add code so that we reset the part and re-establish the link with the PHY after the reset.

Hello,
I would like clarify a few points.

1. 82579 client devices do not support functional level reset (FLR). Unfortunately, it advertises FLR capability -  this is a bug. So, when VM software even accidentally tries to access FLR, that causes our device to hang. To eliminate this problem we decided to disable FLR via drivers/pci/quirks.c 
In previous e-mail I wrote that the solution should work for a 95% of cases. Cases where it might not work if BIOS writes FLR capability before the OS (In 82579 device FLR capability is RWO - read write once). But this is a very weird scenario, so probably the workaround will work close to 100%. Also, I would like to add that we have run lots of tests over 82579 in our lab and ensured that all flows work properly.

2. D0->D3-D0 flow is not affected and is in fact supported by 82579.

3. I will look for an erratum explaining this.

Thanks,
Sasha

> So the bug as reported was that e1000e had a problem reattaching itself to the PHY after it was attached to a VM.  Sasha, please feel free to correct me if I have this bit wrong.  I had been told the problem was the FLR functionality wasn't fully implemented so that was why they were wanting to defeature it.  I had assumed that there was support for a reset on D0->D3->D0, but I just realized that probably isn't the case since it looks like my local system sets the NoSoftRST bit.

That makes sense.  To me, the problem is that writing the AF
capability to disable FLR is unreliable.  We can't tell whether BIOS
has already written it, and there's no way to debug the corner cases
where BIOS *has* written it and the device doesn't reset correctly.

Maybe it is in fact weird for a BIOS to write that, and the corner
case will never arise.  But I have no way of knowing that, and I don't
like making assumptions about what a BIOS will or won't do.

Here are two ideas:

  1) Implement a device-specific reset quirk.  The problem here is
  that you'd have to duplicate the body of __pci_dev_reset(), omitting
  the pcie_flr() and pci_af_flr() calls.  This might be a maintenance
  issue because future changes to __pci_dev_reset() should also be
  made to the quirk.

  2) Add some sort of "broken_flr_reset" bit in struct pci_dev, set it
  with a quirk, and change pci_af_flr() to return -ENOTTY when it is
  set.

> In previous e-mail I wrote that the solution should work for a 95% of cases. Cases where it might not work if BIOS writes FLR capability before the OS (In 82579 device FLR capability is RWO - read write once). But this is a very weird scenario, so probably the workaround will work close to 100%. Also, I would like to add that we have run lots of tests over 82579 in our lab and ensured that all flows work properly.
