Subject: [PATCH v2] PCI: Mask Replay Timer Timeout for Realtek RTS525A
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 10:47:23 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610024723.188514-1-max.lee@canonical.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260528032347.644365-1-max.lee@canonical.com>
The Realtek RTS525A PCI-Express SD card reader (10ec:525a) generates
excessive Correctable Error (Replay Timer Timeout) AER events during
PCIe link initialization. On systems where firmware enables AER
reporting (CERptEn+), this causes an AER storm of ~240K error events
within 11 seconds of boot, overwhelming the kernel error handler and
blocking shutdown/reboot.
The root cause is a transient link training instability inherent to this
device -- even on BIOS versions that suppress reporting, the error
status register (CESta) shows Timeout+ set.
Unlike the GL9750/GL9755 fixup, which only masks the parent root port,
the RTS525A also needs its endpoint Correctable Error Mask bit 12
(PCI_ERR_COR_REP_TIMER) masked when the endpoint exposes AER, so it does
not send ERR_COR messages upstream. Also mask the parent root port to
cover root-port reporting of link errors caused by the endpoint.
Signed-off-by: Max Lee <max.lee@canonical.com>

Changes in v2:
- Mask the parent root port even when the endpoint lacks AER capability.
- Remove the early return before parent root port masking.
