[PATCH v3] pci: prevent putting nvidia GPUs into lower device states on certain intel bridges

From: Karol Herbst
Date: Wed Oct 16 2019 - 10:44:58 EST


Fixes state transitions of Nvidia Pascal GPUs from D3cold into higher device
states.

v2: convert to pci_dev quirk
put a proper technical explanation of the issue as a in-code comment
v3: disable it only for certain combinations of intel and nvidia hardware

+ * Some Intel PCIe bridges cause devices to disappear from the PCIe bus after
+ * those were put into D3cold state if they were put into a non D0 PCI PM
+ * device state before doing so.
+ *
+ * This leads to various issue different issues which all manifest differently,
+ * but have the same root cause:
+ * - AIML code execution hits an infinite loop (as the coe waits on device
+ * memory to change).
+ * - kernel crashes, as all pci reads return -1, which most code isn't able
+ * to handle well enough.
+ * - sudden shutdowns, as the kernel identified an unrecoverable error after
+ * userspace tries to access the GPU.
+ *
+ * In all cases dmesg will contain at least one line like this:
+ * 'nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Refused to change power state, currently in D3'
+ * followed by a lot of nouveau timeouts.
+ *
+ * ACPI code writes bit 0x80 to the not documented PCI register 0x248 of the
+ * PCIe bridge controller in order to power down the GPU.
+ * Nonetheless, there are other code paths inside the ACPI firmware which use
+ * other registers, which seem to work fine:
+ * - 0xbc bit 0x20 (publicly available documentation claims 'reserved')
+ * - 0xb0 bit 0x10 (link disable)
+ * Changing the conditions inside the firmware by poking into the relevant
+ * addresses does resolve the issue, but it seemed to be ACPI private memory
+ * and not any device accessible memory at all, so there is no portable way of
+ * changing the conditions.
+ *
+ * The only systems where this behavior can be seen are hybrid graphics laptops
+ * with a secondary Nvidia Pascal GPU. It cannot be ruled out that this issue
+ * only occurs in combination with listed Intel PCIe bridge controllers and
+ * the mentioned GPUs or if it's only a hw bug in the bridge controller.
+ *
+ * But because this issue was NOT seen on laptops with an Nvidia Pascal GPU
+ * and an Intel Coffee Lake SoC, there is a higher chance of there being a bug
+ * in the bridge controller rather than in the GPU.
+ *
+ * This issue was not able to be reproduced on non laptop systems.
