[v7] PCI: AtomicOps: Fix pci_enable_atomic_ops_to_root()

[PATCH v7 1/3] PCI: AtomicOps: Do not enable requests by RCiEPs

Posted by Gerd Bayer 2 days, 15 hours ago

Since root complex integrated end points (RCiEPs) attach to a bus that
has no bridge device describing the root port, the capability to
complete AtomicOps requests cannot be determined with PCIe methods.

Change default of pci_enable_atomic_ops_to_root() to not enable
AtomicOps requests on RCiEPs.

I know I suggested this because there's nothing explicit that tells us
whether the RC supports atomic ops from RCiEPs [1].  But I'm concerned
that GPUs, infiniband HCAs, and NICs that use atomic ops may be
implemented as RCiEPs and would be broken by this.

These drivers use pci_enable_atomic_ops_to_root():

  amdgpu
  bnxt_re (infiniband)
  mlx5 (infinband)
  qedr (infiniband)
  mlx5 (ethernet)

Maybe we should assume that because RCiEPs are directly integrated
into the RC, the RCiEP would only allow AtomicOp Requester Enable to
be set if the RC supports atomic ops?

I don't like making assumptions like that, but it'd be worse to break
these devices.

FWIW, on AMD APUs our driver doesn't call pci_enable_atomic_ops_to_root. 
It just assumes that the GPU can do atomic accesses because it doesn't 
actually go through PCIe:

What does this mean for the other branch that *does* use
pci_enable_atomic_ops_to_root()?  Can any of those devices be RCiEPs?

Most AMD GPUs are not integrated endpoints. APUs are integrated. There 
are A+A GPUs where the GPUs are separate from the CPU but part of the 
same coherent data fabric as the CPU (adev->gmc.xbmi.connected_to_cpu == 
true). Those may also be considered RCiEPs. (I'm not sure about that, is 
there an easy way to check with lspci?) We may need to include that in 
the same branch as APUs.

You can see that we did that for a new generation of A+A GPU here: 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/agd5f/linux/-/blob/amd-staging-drm-next/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_device.c?ref_type=heads#L3920. 
We'd need to confirm that the same works for MI200 A+A GPUs as well.

Yep, for RCiEPs, "lspci -v" should say something like this:

  Capabilities: [64] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint

Dmesg logs from recent kernels would also include it like this:

  pci 0000:00:02.0: [8086:5916] type 00 class 0x030000 PCIe Root Complex Integrated Endpoint

An RCiEP would be on the root bus; it would not be below a Root Port.
