Subject: [PATCH 0/2] PCI/CXL: Recover CXL Downstream Ports from PM Init failure

CXL r4.0 sec 8.1.5.1 Implementation Note describes a scenario in which a
Secondary Bus Reset, a Link Down, or Downstream Port Containment on a
CXL Downstream Port prevents Port PM Init from completing when ACS
Source Validation is enabled on the Downstream Port. The spec states
that another SBR alone does not recover the port and describes a
software recovery sequence.

Patch 1 extends cxl_reset_bus_function(), the helper backing the cxl_bus
PCI/CXL reset method exposed to userspace via sysfs. It saves, clears,
and restores ACS Source Validation and Bus Master Enable on the CXL
Downstream Port around the SBR it issues. This keeps the userspace
cxl_bus reset path from leaving the port unable to complete PM Init.

Patch 2 adds a recovery pass during CXL enumeration. For each CXL
Downstream Port in a memdev's ancestry, the CXL core checks whether PM
Init has completed. If it has not, regardless of what caused the
failure, it invokes cxl_reset_bus_function() on the child below the port
in the hope of restoring the port to a usable state. CXL enumeration
re-runs after events that tear down and re-probe the memdev, including
DPC, AER, and Link Down, so those paths reach this recovery.

This small series is developed from an old RFC v3:
