Despite the claims in the associated comment block, it seems that
clearing the command register is not enough to guarantee that no
MSI interrupts get triggered during Function Level Reset. Through code
instrumentation, I'm able to clearly trace cases like this:

(0) reset a device:
        echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/xxx/reset
(1) disable an MSI interrupt for device 'xxx' in a PCI reset handler
    (disable_irq())
(2) pcie_flr() initiates reset:
        pcie_capability_set_word(dev, PCI_EXP_DEVCTL, PCI_EXP_DEVCTL_BCR_FLR));
(3) about 0.5 ms later, kernel handles IRQ:
        -> __pci_msi_desc_mask_irq()
           -> pci_write_config_dword()
(4) this is well before the device is actually ready, and the system
    sees a bus abort

Tested with MSI, but presumably MSI-X could have the same issue.

Tested on Samsung Chromebook Plus, with RK3399 OP1.

RFC, because I'm not really sure this is the right approach, or if
there's something else that's misconfigured or buggy.

Note that right now, configuration space aborts trigger SError aborts
(and panics) on RK3399, so this sort of problem is fatal. It's not clear
to me if that's a spec violation (many other PCI controllers manage to
mask such aborts), or an acceptable behavior. But FWIW, that means that
polling behavior like in commit 5adecf817dd6 ("PCI: Wait for up to
1000ms after FLR reset") cannot work; the first read when the device is
not ready will cause a panic.

Is this an irq from the device being reset, or could this be an
interrupt from something else such as the root port?

I'm adding Alex Williamson since he is the author of the patch you
call out here. It is also possible that he may have already submitted
a patch somewhere to fix something like this that I might not be aware
of.

Odds are what probably needs to happen is that the we should probably
take the same steps in to disable master abort mode that we do in
pci_scan_bridge. That way if we don't get a response from the device
in time we don't trigger a master abort which will then feed back up
the bus and cause other issues. I'll see if I can put together a quick
patch to address the issue if you are up for testing it.

So if your device is still issuing MSI or MSI-X interrupts after
completing the line below which overwrites the command register then
there is definitely an issue in the hardware. All bus master
transactions should have been flushed out and blocked after clearing
the bus master enable bit and verifying hat the transactions pending
bit is cleared in the status register.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure it was from the device, but I'll double check to be
sure.

I haven't seen anything, but I haven't been looking specifically for
(non-merged) submissions related to that commit.

Ah, that could make some sense. I'll give your patch a test. That
doesn't really address my main reported issue though, AFAICT from a
quick read (and test).

Yeah, I got this impression :) I'll see if I can double check what
exactly is triggering this interrupt before passing judgment.
