Hi Mario,

Gary has reported that when a dock is plugged into a system at the same
time the autosuspend delay has tripped that the USB4 stack malfunctions.

Messages show up like this:

```
thunderbolt 0000:e5:00.6: ring_interrupt_active: interrupt for TX ring 0 is already enabled
```

Furthermore the USB4 router is non-functional at this point.

Once the USB4 domain starts the sleep transition, it cannot be
interrupted by anything so it always should go through full sleep
transition and only then back from sleep.

Those messages happen because the device is still in D3cold at the time
that the PCI core handed control back to the USB4 connection manager
(thunderbolt).

This is weird. Yes we should be getting the wake from the hotplug but
that should happen only after the domain is fully in sleep (D3cold). The
BIOS ACPI code is supposed to deal with this.

Is that from from experience or do you mean there is a spec behavior?

IE I'm wondering if we have different "expectations" from different
company's hardware designers.

The spec and the CM guide "imply" this behaviour as far as I can tell,
so that the "sleep event" is done completely once started. I guess this
can be interpreted differently too because it is not explicitly said
there.

Can you ask AMD HW folks if this is their interpretation too? Basically
when we get "Sleep Ready" bit set for all the routers in the domain and
turn off power (send PERST) there cannot be wake events until that is
fully completed.

There is typically a timeout mechanism in the BIOS side (part of the
power off method) that waits for the PCIe links to enter L2 before it
triggers PERST. We have seen an issue on our side that if this L2
transition is not completed in time a wake event triggered but that was
a BIOS issue.

Sure thing. I'll discuss it with them and get back with the results.


The issue is that it takes time for a device to enter D3cold and do a
conventional reset, and then more time for it to exit D3cold.

This appears not to be a new problem; previously there were very similar
reports from Ryzen XHCI controllers. Quirks were added for those.
Furthermore; adding extra logging it's apparent that other PCI devices
in the system can take more than 10ms to recover from D3cold as well.

They can take anything up to 100ms after the link has trained.

Right; so currently there is nothing checking they really made it back to D0
after calling pci_power_up(). I feel like we've "mostly" gotten lucky.

We do have pci_bridge_wait_for_secondary_bus() there but I guess that's
not called for integrated PCIe endpoints such as xHCI and the USB4 Host
Interface. They too enter D3cold once power is turned off so I agree we
might have gotten lucky here with the D3hot 10ms delay.

Yup; exactly. I think when Gary found this he was seeing other integrated devices not being ready in time too, but IIRC there wasn't functional impact from them like there is on XHCI and USB4.
