[RFC PATCH] pci: prevent putting pcie devices into lower device states on certain intel bridges

From: Karol Herbst
Date: Fri Sep 27 2019 - 10:44:31 EST


Fixes runpm breakage mainly on Nvidia GPUs as they are not able to resume.

Works perfectly with this workaround applied.

RFC comment:
We are quite sure that there is a higher amount of bridges affected by this,
but I was only testing it on my own machine for now.

I've stresstested runpm by doing 5000 runpm cycles with that patch applied
and never saw it fail.

I mainly wanted to get a discussion going on if that's a feasable workaround
indeed or if we need something better.

I am also sure, that the nouveau driver itself isn't at fault as I am able
to reproduce the same issue by poking into some PCI registers on the PCIe
bridge to put the GPU into D3cold as it's done in ACPI code.

I've written a little python script to reproduce this issue without the need
of loading nouveau:
