[PATCH v5 2/3] PCI: dwc: Force L2 link entry on shutdown/reboot without D3cold check
From: Krishna Chaitanya Chundru
Date: Fri Sep 04 2026 - 20:50:21 EST
dw_pcie_suspend_noirq() normally calls pci_host_common_d3cold_possible()
to check whether every downstream endpoint can be put into D3cold before
bothering to move the link to L2. If no endpoint supports it, the
function returns early and leaves the link up.
Querying D3cold support during shutdown is actively harmful, not just
slow: pci_host_common_d3cold_possible() requires every active endpoint
to already be in PCI_D3hot, and returns false otherwise. If any endpoint
is still in D0 -- which is common, since endpoint drivers aren't
guaranteed to have suspended by the time the host's shutdown path runs
the check fails and dw_pcie_suspend_noirq() returns early without ever
moving the link to L2, leaving it up right up to the point where the
system cuts power/clocks to the controller.
Add a "force_d3cold" flag to struct dw_pcie_rp that callers set
explicitly to force this behavior, rather than having
dw_pcie_suspend_noirq() infer the shutdown/reboot case itself from
system_state. Still call pci_host_common_d3cold_possible()
unconditionally, since it's also how "pme_capable" gets set, but ignore
its return value when force_d3cold is set and force L2 entry regardless.
