[+cc Jonathan, Lorenzo, Krzysztof, Rob (from MAINTAINERS)] Can you make the subject line say what the patch does? Repeating "VMD" is probably unnecessary.

There must be something else going on in addition. Are you saying the Samsung drives have some AER-related defect, like generating Correctable Errors when they shouldn't? It doesn't sound like "Intel ADL" would be relevant here. It's not clear to me if this is directly related to *hotplug* or if it's an AER issue that may happen because of hotplug and possible for other reasons. > The patch 04b12ef163d10e348db664900ae7f611b83c7a0e 12 char SHA1 is sufficient. > ("PCI: vmd: Honor APCI _OSC on PCIe features.") was added to the VMD > driver to correct the issue based on the following assumption: > “Since VMD is an aperture to regular PCIe root ports, honor ACPI > _OSC to disable PCIe features accordingly to resolve the issue.” > Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211203031541.1428904-1-kai.heng.feng@canonical.com > > VMD as a PCIe device is an end point(type 0), not a PCIe aperture > (pcie bridge).

This is a lot of description that doesn't seem to say what the actual underlying issue is. It's basically "if we treat hotplug differently from other negotiated features, things work better." And it seems like it depends on what the UEFI driver did, and we should try to avoid a dependency there. If the issue is too many Correctable Errors being reported via AER, we have that problem regardless of VMD, and we should handle it by rate-limiting and/or suppressing them completely for particularly offensive devices. We have some issues like this that are still outstanding: [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/DM6PR04MB6473197DBD89FF4643CC391F8BC19@DM6PR04MB6473.namprd04.prod.outlook.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20230606035256.2886098-2-grundler@chromium.org/ > Signed-off-by: Nirmal Patel <nirmal.patel@linux.intel.com> > --- > drivers/pci/controller/vmd.c | 2 -- > 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/pci/controller/vmd.c b/drivers/pci/controller/vmd.c > index 769eedeb8802..52c2461b4761 100644 > --- a/drivers/pci/controller/vmd.c > +++ b/drivers/pci/controller/vmd.c > @@ -701,8 +701,6 @@ static int vmd_alloc_irqs(struct vmd_dev *vmd) > static void vmd_copy_host_bridge_flags(struct pci_host_bridge *root_bridge, > struct pci_host_bridge *vmd_bridge) > { > - vmd_bridge->native_pcie_hotplug = root_bridge->native_pcie_hotplug; > - vmd_bridge->native_shpc_hotplug = root_bridge->native_shpc_hotplug; > vmd_bridge->native_aer = root_bridge->native_aer; > vmd_bridge->native_pme = root_bridge->native_pme; > vmd_bridge->native_ltr = root_bridge->native_ltr; > -- > 2.31.1 >

I think your understanding of treating hotplug differently from other features is correct. The hotplug issue is seen only in guest because guest BIOS doesn't know about such settings nor have an implementation. Ideally, when hotplug is enabled in Host BIOS, VMD root ports in guest should obtain same values with the help of direct assign feature. The patch (04b12ef163d1) overwrites these values and assigns default values(i.e 0h for hotplug) resulting in hotplug disabled. Regarding AER, I think we should leave other settings as it is. During the initialization, AER is enabled on VMD root-port without knowing if the platform firmware has a handler. Thanks to the patch(04b12ef163d1), this mistake was corrected. >> Signed-off-by: Nirmal Patel <nirmal.patel@linux.intel.com> >> --- >> drivers/pci/controller/vmd.c | 2 -- >> 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) >> >> diff --git a/drivers/pci/controller/vmd.c b/drivers/pci/controller/vmd.c >> index 769eedeb8802..52c2461b4761 100644 >> --- a/drivers/pci/controller/vmd.c >> +++ b/drivers/pci/controller/vmd.c >> @@ -701,8 +701,6 @@ static int vmd_alloc_irqs(struct vmd_dev *vmd) >> static void vmd_copy_host_bridge_flags(struct pci_host_bridge *root_bridge, >> struct pci_host_bridge *vmd_bridge) >> { >> - vmd_bridge->native_pcie_hotplug = root_bridge->native_pcie_hotplug; >> - vmd_bridge->native_shpc_hotplug = root_bridge->native_shpc_hotplug; >> vmd_bridge->native_aer = root_bridge->native_aer; >> vmd_bridge->native_pme = root_bridge->native_pme; >> vmd_bridge->native_ltr = root_bridge->native_ltr; >> -- >> 2.31.1 >>

The hotplug functionality is broken in various combinations of guest OSes i.e. RHEL, SlES and hypervisors i.e. KVM and ESXI. VMD enabled on Intel ADL cpus caused interrupt storm for smasung drives due to AER being enabled on VMD controlled root ports. The patch 04b12ef163d10e348db664900ae7f611b83c7a0e ("PCI: vmd: Honor APCI _OSC on PCIe features.") was added to the VMD driver to correct the issue based on the following assumption: “Since VMD is an aperture to regular PCIe root ports, honor ACPI _OSC to disable PCIe features accordingly to resolve the issue.” Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211203031541.1428904-1-kai.heng.feng@canonical.com VMD as a PCIe device is an end point(type 0), not a PCIe aperture (pcie bridge). In fact VMD is a type 0 raid controller(class code). When BIOS boots, all root ports under VMD is inaccessible by BIOS, and as such, they maintain their power on default states. The VMD UEFI DXE driver loads and configure all devices under VMD. This is how AER, power management and hotplug gets enabled in UEFI, since the BIOS pci driver cannot access the root ports. The patch worked around the interrupt storm by assigning the native ACPI states to the root ports under VMD. It assigns AER, hotplug, PME, etc. These have been restored back to the power on default state in guest OS, which says the root port hot plug enable is default OFF. At most, the work around should have only assigned AER state. An additional patch should be added to exclude hot plug from the original patch. This will cause hot plug to start working again in the guest, as the settings implemented by the UEFI VMD DXE driver will remain in effect in Linux.
