I'd really like a short comment in the code as well, because this sort of link-up check tends to get copied to new drivers where it shouldn't be used, e.g., something like this: /* * If the link goes down after we check for link-up, nothing bad * happens but the config access times out. */ > Signed-off-by: Pali Rohár <pali@kernel.org> > > --- > Changes in V2: > * Update commit message, mention that this is optimization > --- > drivers/pci/controller/pci-aardvark.c | 3 +++ > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/drivers/pci/controller/pci-aardvark.c b/drivers/pci/controller/pci-aardvark.c > index 90ff291c24f0..53a4cfd7d377 100644 > --- a/drivers/pci/controller/pci-aardvark.c > +++ b/drivers/pci/controller/pci-aardvark.c > @@ -644,6 +644,9 @@ static bool advk_pcie_valid_device(struct advk_pcie *pcie, struct pci_bus *bus, > if ((bus->number == pcie->root_bus_nr) && PCI_SLOT(devfn) != 0) > return false; > > + if (bus->number != pcie->root_bus_nr && !advk_pcie_link_up(pcie)) > + return false; > + > return true; > } > > -- > 2.20.1 >

When there is no PCIe card connected and advk_pcie_rd_conf() or advk_pcie_wr_conf() is called for PCI bus which doesn't belong to emulated root bridge, the aardvark driver throws the following error message: advk-pcie d0070000.pcie: config read/write timed out Obviously accessing PCIe registers of disconnected card is not possible. Extend check in advk_pcie_valid_device() function for validating availability of PCIe bus. If PCIe link is down, then the device is marked as Not Found and the driver does not try to access these registers. This is just an optimization to prevent accessing PCIe registers when card is disconnected. Trying to access PCIe registers of disconnected card does not cause any crash, kernel just needs to wait for a timeout. So if card disappear immediately after checking for PCIe link (before accessing PCIe registers), it does not cause any problems.
