Subject: RE: [PATCH] PCI/ASPM: fix reverse ASPM L0s assignment of upstream
 and downstream

Hi Bjorn,

I file a bug today: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118941

My patch passed in my test machine, but it's sad that Lenovo PA team still find reset issue when do batch test even applied my patch.
So please ignore it at this time. I am sorry for it. But I will spend more time to find if the patch is still right but has no impact on above bug report.

The section "5.4.1.1.1. Entry into the L0s State" of PCIE spec says: "Software must not enable L0s in either direction on a given Link unless components on both sides of the Link each support L0s; otherwise, the result is undefined."
So I think the issue may be caused by different ASPM L0s setting in each side of the link. After disable both of them, the issue gone.

And I find both sides of the link always keep ASPM L1 the same. Why ASPM L0s is treated in different way even PCIE spec has concern?
Is it valuable and acceptable to let ASPM L0s always keep the same in both sides of a link?

Thanks!

Hi Ocean,

Random resets of an endpoint sounds like a pretty bad problem.  Do you
have a bug report?  We've had lots of issues with ASPM; I wonder if
this could account for some of them.
