[PATCH] PCI: Add link_change error handler and vfio-pci user

From: Alex Williamson
Date: Tue Apr 23 2019 - 18:42:36 EST


The PCIe bandwidth notification service generates logging any time a
link changes speed or width to a state that is considered downgraded.
Unfortunately, it cannot differentiate signal integrity related link
changes from those intentionally initiated by an endpoint driver,
including drivers that may live in userspace or VMs when making use
of vfio-pci. Therefore, allow the driver to have a say in whether
the link is indeed downgraded and worth noting in the log, or if the
change is perhaps intentional.

For vfio-pci, we don't know the intentions of the user/guest driver
either, but we do know that GPU drivers in guests actively manage
the link state and therefore trigger the bandwidth notification for
what appear to be entirely intentional link changes.

Changing to pci_dbg() logging is not super usable, so let's try the
previous idea of letting the driver handle link change events as they
see fit. Ideally this might be two patches, but for easier handling,
folding the pci and vfio-pci bits together. Comments? Thanks,

Alex
