[PATCH 0/4] PCI/CXL: Guard reset recovery against inaccessible devices

From: Richard Cheng

Date: Mon Sep 28 2026 - 22:06:57 EST


During FLR testing, PCI configuration reads returned all ones. The
kernel could mistake this for reset completion and proceed with MSI-X
restoration. The resulting MMIO access triggered DPC containment.

This series addresses four issues:

1. Reject all-ones responses in pci_dev_wait(). Use Command-register
polling for VFs, whose Vendor ID legitimately reads as all ones.

2. Return -ETIMEDOUT when readiness polling expires, preventing fallback
to another reset method.

3. Check configuration accessibility before restoring PCI state, while
preserving driver reset callbacks.

4. Skip CXL decoder MMIO accesses when configuration is inaccessible
or memory decoding is disabled.


Best regards,
Richard Cheng.
