[PATCH v2 6/8] PCI: pciehp: Fix race condition handling surprise link down

From: Mika Westerberg
Date: Fri Oct 13 2017 - 14:36:14 EST


A surprise link down may retrain very quickly causing the same slot
generate a link up event before handling the link down event completes.

Since the link is active, the power off work queued from the first link
down will cause a second down event when power is disabled. However, the
link up event sets the slot state to POWERON_STATE before the event to
handle this is enqueued, making the second down event believe it needs
to do something.

This creates constant link up and down event cycle.

To prevent this it is better to handle each event at the time in order
it occurred, so change the driver to use ordered workqueue instead.

A normal device hotplug triggers two events (presense detect and link
up) that are already handled properly in the driver but we currently log
an error if we find an existing device in the slot. Since this is not an
error change the log level to be debug instead to avoid scaring users.

This is based on the original work by Ashok Raj.
