[PATCH 0/2] PCI: Workaround for bus reset on Cavium cn8xxx root ports

From: David Daney
Date: Mon May 15 2017 - 20:17:55 EST


With the recent improvements in arm64 and vfio-pci, we are seeing
failures like this (on cn8890 based systems):

[ 235.622361] Unhandled fault: synchronous external abort (0x96000210) at 0xfffffc00c1000100

These are caused by the inability of the PCIe root port and Intel
e1000e to sucessfully do a bus reset.

The proposed fix is to not do a bus reset on these systems.

David Daney (2):
PCI: Allow PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_BUS_RESET to be used on bus device.
PCI: Avoid bus reset for Cavium cn8xxx root ports.
