PCI/bwctrl: Enable only if more than one speed is supported
JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-81906 Upstream Status: 774c71c52aa487001c7da9f93b10cedc9985c371 commit 774c71c52aa487001c7da9f93b10cedc9985c371 Author: Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de> Date: Tue Dec 17 10:51:02 2024 +0100 PCI/bwctrl: Enable only if more than one speed is supported If a PCIe port only supports a single speed, enabling bandwidth control is pointless: There's no need to monitor autonomous speed changes, nor can the speed be changed. Not enabling it saves a small amount of memory and compute resources, but also fixes a boot hang reported by Niklas: It occurs when enabling bandwidth control on Downstream Ports of Intel JHL7540 "Titan Ridge 2018" Thunderbolt controllers. The ports only support 2.5 GT/s in accordance with USB4 v2 sec 11.2.1, so the present commit works around the issue. PCIe r6.2 sec 8.2.1 prescribes that: "A device must support 2.5 GT/s and is not permitted to skip support for any data rates between 2.5 GT/s and the highest supported rate." Consequently, bandwidth control is currently only disabled if a port doesn't support higher speeds than 2.5 GT/s. However the Implementation Note in PCIe r6.2 sec 7.5.3.18 cautions: "It is strongly encouraged that software primarily utilize the Supported Link Speeds Vector instead of the Max Link Speed field, so that software can determine the exact set of supported speeds on current and future hardware. This can avoid software being confused if a future specification defines Links that do not require support for all slower speeds." In other words, future revisions of the PCIe Base Spec may allow gaps in the Supported Link Speeds Vector. To be future-proof, don't just check whether speeds above 2.5 GT/s are supported, but rather check whether *more than one* speed is supported.
