[PATCH v15 0/4] Simplify PCIe native ownership
From: Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan
Date: Fri Oct 02 2026 - 17:23:26 EST
This revives Bjorn's v12 from November 2020, rebased onto v7.3-rc3.

The goal is unchanged. Decide who owns each PCIe port service in one
place, when we interpret the _OSC results in acpi_pci_root_create(), so
that everywhere else only has to look at host_bridge->native_X. For AER
specifically, host_bridge->native_aer becomes the single answer to the
question "may Linux touch the AER Capability?". Today callers each have
to remember to also test pcie_ports_native and pci_aer_available().
I posted v11. Bjorn took it over at v12, split the _OSC changes in two
and deferred the "pcie_ports=dpc-native" work. The v12 review comments
were agreed but never respun, and the series stalled. v13 was that
respin.

Bjorn suggested reviving it in response to Guixin Liu's report that
"pcie_ports=native" no longer enables DPC. The DPC service binds on
host_bridge->native_aer, and that flag did not reflect the command line,
so DPC stayed off when firmware retained AER control. Patch 3 fixes it
by making the flag reflect it.

Patch 3 has a side effect worth calling out. drivers/cxl/core/ras.c did
not exist in 2020 and tests host_bridge->native_aer with no
pcie_ports_native fallback, so it has been quietly ignoring
"pcie_ports=native". Centralizing the check fixes that.
Binding the DPC service on host_bridge->native_dpc, rather than on
native_aer, is left for a separate patch on top of Lukas's series that
removes the DPC/AER dependency, as agreed with Bjorn. That change
alters behavior, so it does not belong in this cleanup.

Changes since v14:
* Patch 3: fold "pcie_ports=dpc-native" into the _OSC control mask as
well, so host_bridge->native_dpc and the "OS native features" line
reflect it (Bjorn).
* Picked up Guixin's Reviewed-by on patch 3.

Changes since v13:
* Lukas suggested dropping AER cap check fix (patch 1 of v13). He has
a series underway to fix it cleanly (removing DPC/AER dependency).
So dropped the patch as suggested.
https://lore.kernel.org/r/aq95LGUHL-pnmTlr@xxxxxxxxx
* Addressed use of IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PCIEPORTBUS) instead of #ifdef
(Lukas).
* Added Fixes tag in patch 3 (Guixin Liu).
* Added Acks from Rafael.
