But given that we have been doing it for quite a while (b566a22c2 appeared in v3.5 on Jul 21, 2012), and Lynx Point should be in lots of machines, I'm surprised that we don't see more reports of this problem if it really affects all Lynx Point parts.

All three reports (Chang, Jility, Florian) are on the same exact machine (Acer V5-573G), which seems sort of suspicious. Lan, do you have access to any Lynx Point boxes? Can you test and see whether they hang on power-off also? I suspect this might be something specific to the Acer box, not a generic Lynx Point issue.

If this turns out to be a problem specific to Acer V573G, we can simply wrap the if (pdev->...) line in ata/ahci.c with if (dmi_check_system(acer_v573g)) so that only acer v573g laptops will be affected by this patch. The remaining part of the patch won't need to be changed. I can do an updated one as soon as it is confirmed that this is an acer specific issue. 2013/11/26 Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com>: > [+cc Lan, Khalid, Konstantin, Alan, Takao, Jility, Florian, linux-kernel] > > On Tue, Nov 12, 2013 at 07:40:03PM +0000, Chang Liu wrote: >> This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63861 >> >> Commit b566a22c2 and 7897e60227 made pci_device_shutdown() >> unconditionally clear Bus Master bit for every pci devices. >> While this works for most hardware, certain devices are not >> compatible with this.

Disabling Bus Master bit is effectively a brute force and not an elegant way to stop unwanted DMA. It can have side effects as Alan and others pointed out in the original discussion, and we are now seeing one with Lynx Point on Acer. Eric had pointed out in original discussion - <http://marc.info/?l=linux-pci&m=133901193430829&w=2> that this code change moves failure from a random point in the kexec'd kernel to a predictable point on shutdown path where it becomes lot easier to debug than a random memory overwrite. For kexec and kdump to be successful, all devices need to be shut down cleanly and be in a state where they can be reinitialized by the kexec'd kernel. Either device drivers do it or we forcibly stop all DMAs by clearing Bus Master bit. If we stop clearing Bus Master bit on shutdown, we will resurrect the old issue of random memory corruption on kexec. Regular shutdown being affected by Bus Master bit being cleared is not a comfortable situation. Would it be better if we clear Bus Master bit only if devices are being shut down in preparation for kexec? Patch proposed by Chang Liu is similar to the approach I had suggested in discussions last year - <http://marc.info/?l=linux-pci&m=133900414027717&w=2> where driver tells the PCI subsystem if it is not ok with Bus Master bit being cleared and I can accept this approach. Every time we come across a broken driver/device that implodes on Bus Master bit being cleared, we add "pdev->keep_busmaster_on_shutdown = 1;" to the driver. This will be an ongoing process. -- Khalid > > But given that we have been doing it for quite a while (b566a22c2 appeared > in v3.5 on Jul 21, 2012), and Lynx Point should be in lots of machines, I'm > surprised that we don't see more reports of this problem if it really > affects all Lynx Point parts. > > Jility reported the same problem [2], and I did find one other similar > report [3] from Florian.

I'm getting more queasy all the time about disabling Bus Master. I don't think RHEL does it, and that's probably where most kexec use is. So I doubt we really have much experience with it yet. > Eric had pointed out in original discussion - > <http://marc.info/?l=linux-pci&m=133901193430829&w=2> that this code change > moves failure from a random point in the kexec'd kernel to a predictable > point on shutdown path where it becomes lot easier to debug than a random > memory overwrite. That is probably true in some cases, but not this one. I have no idea how to debug this poweroff hang. Poweroff is a path *everybody* uses, so it's much more important to have that work reliably than it is to have kexec work. > For kexec and kdump to be successful, all devices need to > be shut down cleanly and be in a state where they can be reinitialized by > the kexec'd kernel.

If we don't reuse the memory of the old kernel, any ongoing DMA will only affect the old kernel image, not the new one. So I don't think disabling Bus Master is the only possible strategy. > Regular shutdown being affected by Bus Master bit being cleared is not a > comfortable situation.

I am really uncomfortable with this ongoing process because the people who will trip over these imploding devices are non-technical users who bought a new machine or are just trying out Linux. They do something completely normal like turn off their machine, and it blows up. Their only real options are to return the machine or ditch Linux. Kexec is a 1% case and we're probably using it because we've already crashed for another reason, and we're already in the unreliable state, so if kexec breaks it's not such a user-experience nightmare. I wonder if there's any other way we could make progress on the original kexec corruption issues. Maybe there's some logging we could add to make active drivers more visible. >> But given that we have been doing it for quite a while (b566a22c2 appeared >> in v3.5 on Jul 21, 2012), and Lynx Point should be in lots of machines, >> I'm >> surprised that we don't see more reports of this problem if it really >> affects all Lynx Point parts. >> >> Jility reported the same problem [2], and I did find one other similar >> report [3] from Florian.

If not, it's likely that there are platforms where the SMM code assumes it's still enabled. We also know that there are devices that hang if BM is disabled while their DMA engines are still running. Unless we verify that Windows does this, I think there's no way we can guarantee that firmware won't make assumptions about the state of PCI. The easiest compromise would probably be to set a flag that disables busmastering purely when we're performing a kexec. > > Eric had pointed out in original discussion - > > <http://marc.info/?l=linux-pci&m=133901193430829&w=2> that this code change > > moves failure from a random point in the kexec'd kernel to a predictable > > point on shutdown path where it becomes lot easier to debug than a random > > memory overwrite. > > That is probably true in some cases, but not this one.

If it's hanging after we've performed the io writes that trap us into SMM, there's no meaningful way for us to debug it. We're violating assumptions that the firmware is making, and the only way to fix that is to cease violating those assumptions.

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63861 Commit b566a22c2 and 7897e60227 made pci_device_shutdown() unconditionally clear Bus Master bit for every pci devices. While this works for most hardware, certain devices are not compatible with this. Intel Lynx Point-LP SATA Controller, for example, will hang the system if its Bus Master bit is cleared during device shutdown. This patch adds a pci quirk so that device drivers can instruct pci_device_shutdown() to keep Bus Master from being cleared, and then implements this mechanism for the Intel Lynx Point-LP AHCI driver.
