[PATCH] PCI/DPC: Increase recovery timeout to 60 seconds

From: Ziyou Wang (Lenovo)

Date: Fri Nov 06 2026 - 03:33:10 EST


Some NVMe devices need more than 5 seconds to recover after DPC
containment, but pci_dpc_recovered() waits only 4 seconds. If the device
hasn't recovered by then, pciehp reports "device recovery failed" and
the device is re-enumerated.

Use PCIE_RESET_READY_POLL_MS (60 seconds) as the timeout so pciehp
waits as long as pci_dev_wait() does, which is sufficient for all known
devices.

Tested with INNOGRIT NVMe SSD [1dbe:5668] with ACS Fatal error
injection:

Upstream kernel (7.3.0-master+, 4s timeout):
[123.018691] nvme: not ready 1023ms after DPC; waiting
[124.106690] nvme: not ready 2047ms after DPC; waiting
[125.642703] pciehp: Slot(64): Link Down
[126.218696] AER: subordinate device reset failed
[126.218700] AER: device recovery failed
Device re-enumerated as nvme1

With this patch (60s timeout):
[74.894811] nvme: not ready 1023ms after DPC; waiting
[75.982813] nvme: not ready 2047ms after DPC; waiting
[78.094810] nvme: ready 4095ms after DPC
[78.094816] nvme: restart after slot reset
[78.111620] AER: device recovery successful
Device works normally
