Re: [PATCH 1/1] pci: fix dmar fault for kdump kernel

From: Li, ZhenHua

I tested on the latest stable version 3.17, it works well.

On a HP system with Intel vt-d supported and many PCI devices on it,
when kernel crashed and the kdump kernel boots with intel_iommu=on,
there may be some unexpected DMA requests on this adapter, which will
cause DMA Remapping faults like:
dmar: DRHD: handling fault status reg 102
dmar: DMAR:[DMA Read] Request device [41:00.0] fault addr fff81000
DMAR:[fault reason 01] Present bit in root entry is clear

This bug may happen on *any* PCI device.
Analysis for this bug:

The present bit is set in this function:

static struct context_entry * device_to_context_entry(
struct intel_iommu *iommu, u8 bus, u8 devfn)
{
......
set_root_present(root);
......
}

Calling tree:
device driver
intel_alloc_coherent
__intel_map_single
domain_context_mapping
domain_context_mapping_one
device_to_context_entry

This means, the present bit in root entry will not be set until the device
driver is loaded.

But in the kdump kernel, hardware devices are not aware that control has
transferred to the second kernel, and those drivers must initialize again.
Consequently there may be unexpected DMA requests from devices activity
initiated in the first kernel leading to the DMA Remapping errors in the
second kernel.

To fix this DMAR fault, we need to reset the bus that this device on. Reset
the device itself does not work.

A patch for this bug that has been sent before:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/30/55
As in discussion, this bug may happen on *any* device, so we need to reset all
pci devices.

There was an original version(Takao Indoh) that resets the pcie devices:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/14/9

Update of this new version, comparing with Takao Indoh's version:
Add support for legacy PCI devices.
Use pci_try_reset_bus instead of do_downstream_device_reset in original version

Randy Wright corrects some misunderstanding in this description.
