Subject: [PATCH v3] PCI: rockchip: Don't lengthen PERST# when power is already valid
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:56:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028005603.2399220-1-ehbello@gmail.com> (raw)
Since commit c47f90be4c89 ("PCI: rockchip-host: Fix
rockchip_pcie_host_init_port() PERST# handling"), a JMicron JMB585
behind an rk3399 root port is almost never enumerated: the link trains
normally, but the endpoint's configuration space never answers. On this
controller a configuration read that gets no usable completion is
reported as an external abort rather than as an all-ones response, so
the machine does not merely miss a device -- it dies with an
asynchronous SError inside rockchip_pcie_rd_conf().
That change added an unconditional msleep(PCIE_T_PVPERL_MS) to
rockchip_pcie_host_init_port(). PERST# is asserted much earlier, when
the line is acquired with GPIOD_OUT_LOW in rockchip_pcie_parse_dt(), so
the sleep lands inside the assertion and widens it. Measuring the pulse
in the driver with a ktime delta across the two gpiod_set_value() calls
gives 1 ms without the sleep and 108 ms with it; msleep(100) rounds up
to roughly 107 ms. This endpoint does not recover from a reset that
long.
To separate the two things that sleep changes -- how long PERST# is held
low, and how long the supplies have been valid when it is released --
both delays were made runtime-adjustable on a single kernel, one before
the assertion and one after it, and the host driver was rebound to
re-run the whole probe:
before assert after assert pulse trials enumerated
0 ms 0 ms 1-11 ms 5 5
0 ms 10 ms ~18 ms 3 3
0 ms 15 ms 24-47 ms 4 4
0 ms 20 ms ~28 ms 3 1
0 ms 100 ms ~108 ms 4 0
200 ms 0 ms 6-11 ms 5 5
200 ms 100 ms ~108 ms 1 0
Delaying the assertion by 200 ms changes nothing, whether the pulse is
short (5 of 5 either way) or long (0 of 4 and 0 of 1); widening the
pulse is what decides the outcome. vcc3v3_pcie on this board is
regulator-always-on and regulator-boot-on, so in every row above --
the failing ones included -- the supplies have been valid for seconds
by the time the driver probes, and Tpvperl is met whether the wait runs
or not. It therefore cannot be what distinguishes them. What this
endpoint reacts to is the width of the PERST# pulse.
The wait and a short pulse cannot both be had in general: Tpvperl is
counted from the supplies becoming valid to PERST# being de-asserted
(PCIe CEM r5.1, sec. 2.9.2), so on a board that powers the slot at
probe time the assertion does have to last that long. Where the
supplies are already up, though, the requirement is met before PERST#
is ever asserted, and the sleep only widens the pulse.
So record whether the supplies were already enabled before the driver
enabled them, and skip the wait in that case. A supply that is already
on at probe was brought up either by the bootloader or by the regulator
core at boot, both of which precede a PCIe probe by far more than
Tpvperl. When the driver really does bring the rails up the full wait
still happens, as it does if regulator_is_enabled() cannot tell.
The same check is repeated on resume rather than assuming that power
was cycled: suspend calls regulator_disable() on the 0.9V supply, which
only drops a reference, so on a board where that rail is always-on or
shared with another consumer the power stays valid across the cycle.
Skipping the wait only when every supply is already on is strictly more
conservative than what this driver did for years: until the change
cited above there was no Tpvperl wait at all, and PERST# stayed
asserted only for as long as the register writes in between took.
Boot-level counts on the same board agree with the table: unmodified,
the endpoint enumerated on 0 of 84 boots; with this patch, 3 of 3; with
other ways of dropping the same wait, 16 of 16. Each of the three
PERST#-related changes that landed together in v6.11-rc1 was also
reverted individually, and only removing this wait made a difference.
Moving the wait later but still inside the assertion did not help
(0 of 15 boots), which is consistent with the width being what matters.
The measurements were taken on 6.18, but the code in question is
unchanged between v6.11 and v7.2.

v3:
- Rewrite the commit message. It now leads with the width of the PERST#
pulse, which is what the endpoint reacts to, and demotes the Tpvperl
redundancy to the reason the wait can safely be skipped rather than
the explanation of the failure. Manivannan was right that those are
two different claims and that only the first one was evidenced.
- Add the A/B measurement that was missing: one kernel with the delay
before and after the PERST# assertion independently adjustable, so
pulse width and power-valid time can be varied separately on the
same binary. Also note that this board's PCIe supply is always-on,
so Tpvperl is met in the failing configurations too.
- Note in the comment that the regulator_enable() calls are kept for the
reference count and are independent of the Tpvperl question, so the next
reader does not have to ask it.
- No functional change from v2.
v2:
- Re-evaluate the supplies in rockchip_pcie_resume_noirq() instead of
assuming that the 0.9V rail was really turned off. On a board where
that rail is always-on or shared, regulator_disable() leaves it on,
and forcing the wait there would reintroduce on resume exactly the
failure this patch fixes. Spotted by an automated review of v1.
- Factor the test into rockchip_pcie_supplies_enabled() now that it
has two callers.
