UBUNTU: SAUCE: x86/quirks: Scan all busses for early PCI quirks
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797990 Recently was noticed in an HP GEN9 system that kdump couldn't succeed due to an irq storm coming from an Intel NIC, narrowed down to be lack of clearing the MSI/MSI-X enable bits during the kdump kernel boot. For that, we need an early quirk to manually turn off MSI/MSI-X for PCI devices - this was worked as an optional boot parameter in a (~subsequent~) previous patch. Problem is that in our test system, the Intel NICs were not present in any secondary bus under the first PCIe root complex, so they couldn't be reached by the recursion in check_dev_quirk(). Modern systems, specially with multi-processors and multiple NUMA nodes expose multiple root complexes, describing more than one PCI hierarchy domain. Currently the simple recursion present in the early-quirks code from x86 starts a descending recursion from bus 0000:00, and reach many other busses by navigating this hierarchy walking through the bridges. This is not enough in systems with more than one root complex/host bridge, since the recursion won't "traverse" to other root complexes by starting statically in 0000:00 (for more details, see [0]). This patch hence implements the full bus/device/function scan in early_quirks(), by checking all possible busses instead of using a recursion based on the first root bus or limiting the search scope to the first 32 busses (like it was done in the beginning [1]). [0] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797990 [1] From historical perspective, early PCI scan dates back to BitKeeper, added by Andi Kleen's "[PATCH] APIC fixes for x86-64", on October/2003. It initially restricted the search to the first 32 busses and slots. Due to a potential bug found in Nvidia chipsets, the scan was changed to run only in the first root bus: see commit 8659c406 ("x86: only scan the root bus in early PCI quirks") Finally, secondary busses reachable from the 1st bus were re-added back by: commit 850c3210 ("x86/quirks: Reintroduce scanning of secondary buses") Reported-by: Dan Streetman <ddstreet@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Guilherme G.
