+Many PCI bus controllers are able to detect a variety of hardware
+PCI errors on the bus, such as parity errors on the data and address
+buses, as well as SERR and PERR errors. Some of the more advanced
+chipsets are able to deal with these errors; these include PCI-E chipsets,
+and the PCI-host bridges found on IBM Power4, Power5 and Power6-based
+pSeries boxes. A typical action taken is to disconnect the affected device,
+halting all I/O to it. The goal of a disconnection is to avoid system
+corruption; for example, to halt system memory corruption due to DMA's
+to "wild" addresses. Typically, a reconnection mechanism is also
+offered, so that the affected PCI device(s) are reset and put back
+into working condition. The reset phase requires coordination
+between the affected device drivers and the PCI controller chip.
+This document describes a generic API for notifying device drivers
+of a bus disconnection, and then performing error recovery.
+This API is currently implemented in the 2.6.16 and later kernels.
+
+Reporting and recovery is performed in several steps. First, when
+a PCI hardware error has resulted in a bus disconnect, that event
+is reported as soon as possible to all affected device drivers,
+including multiple instances of a device driver on multi-function
+cards. This allows device drivers to avoid deadlocking in spinloops,
+waiting for some i/o-space register to change, when it never will.
+It also gives the drivers a chance to defer incoming I/O as
+needed.
+
+Next, recovery is performed in several stages. Most of the complexity
+is forced by the need to handle multi-function devices, that is,
+devices that have multiple device drivers associated with them.
+In the first stage, each driver is allowed to indicate what type
+of reset it desires, the choices being a simple re-enabling of I/O
+or requesting a slot reset.
+
+If any driver requests a slot reset, that is what will be done.
+
+After a reset and/or a re-enabling of I/O, all drivers are
+again notified, so that they may then perform any device setup/config
+that may be required. After these have all completed, a final
+"resume normal operations" event is sent out.
+
+The biggest reason for choosing a kernel-based implementation rather
+than a user-space implementation was the need to deal with bus
+disconnects of PCI devices attached to storage media, and, in particular,
+disconnects from devices holding the root file system. If the root
+file system is disconnected, a user-space mechanism would have to go
+through a large number of contortions to complete recovery. Almost all
+of the current Linux file systems are not tolerant of disconnection
+from/reconnection to their underlying block device. By contrast,
+bus errors are easy to manage in the device driver. Indeed, most
+device drivers already handle very similar recovery procedures;
+for example, the SCSI-generic layer already provides significant
+mechanisms for dealing with SCSI bus errors and SCSI bus resets.
+
+
+Detailed Design
+===============
+
+Design and implementation details below, based on a chain of
+public email discussions with Ben Herrenschmidt, circa 5 April 2005.
+
+The error recovery API support is exposed to the driver in the form of
+a structure of function pointers pointed to by a new field in struct
+pci_driver. A driver that fails to provide the structure is "non-aware",
+and the actual recovery steps taken are platform dependent. The
+arch/powerpc implementation will simulate a PCI hotplug remove/add.
+
+This structure has the form::
+
+ struct pci_error_handlers
+ {
+ int (*error_detected)(struct pci_dev *dev, enum pci_channel_state);
+ int (*mmio_enabled)(struct pci_dev *dev);
+ int (*slot_reset)(struct pci_dev *dev);
+ void (*resume)(struct pci_dev *dev);
+ };
+
+The possible channel states are::
+
+ enum pci_channel_state {
+ pci_channel_io_normal, /* I/O channel is in normal state */
+ pci_channel_io_frozen, /* I/O to channel is blocked */
+ pci_channel_io_perm_failure, /* PCI card is dead */
+ };
+
+Possible return values are::
+
+ enum pci_ers_result {
+ PCI_ERS_RESULT_NONE, /* no result/none/not supported in device driver */
+ PCI_ERS_RESULT_CAN_RECOVER, /* Device driver can recover without slot reset */
+ PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET, /* Device driver wants slot to be reset. */
+ PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT, /* Device has completely failed, is unrecoverable */
+ PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED, /* Device driver is fully recovered and operational */
+ };
+
+A driver does not have to implement all of these callbacks; however,
+if it implements any, it must implement error_detected(). If a callback
+is not implemented, the corresponding feature is considered unsupported.
+For example, if mmio_enabled() and resume() aren't there, then it
+is assumed that the driver is not doing any direct recovery and requires
+a slot reset. Typically a driver will want to know about
+a slot_reset().
+
+The actual steps taken by a platform to recover from a PCI error
+event will be platform-dependent, but will follow the general
+sequence described below.
+
+STEP 0: Error Event
+-------------------
+A PCI bus error is detected by the PCI hardware. On powerpc, the slot
+is isolated, in that all I/O is blocked: all reads return 0xffffffff,
+all writes are ignored.
+
+
+STEP 1: Notification
+--------------------
+Platform calls the error_detected() callback on every instance of
+every driver affected by the error.
+
+At this point, the device might not be accessible anymore, depending on
+the platform (the slot will be isolated on powerpc). The driver may
+already have "noticed" the error because of a failing I/O, but this
+is the proper "synchronization point", that is, it gives the driver
+a chance to cleanup, waiting for pending stuff (timers, whatever, etc...)
+to complete; it can take semaphores, schedule, etc... everything but
+touch the device. Within this function and after it returns, the driver
+shouldn't do any new IOs. Called in task context. This is sort of a
+"quiesce" point. See note about interrupts at the end of this doc.
+
+All drivers participating in this system must implement this call.
+The driver must return one of the following result codes:
+
+ - PCI_ERS_RESULT_CAN_RECOVER
+ Driver returns this if it thinks it might be able to recover
+ the HW by just banging IOs or if it wants to be given
+ a chance to extract some diagnostic information (see
+ mmio_enable, below).
+ - PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET
+ Driver returns this if it can't recover without a
+ slot reset.
+ - PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT
+ Driver returns this if it doesn't want to recover at all.
+
+The next step taken will depend on the result codes returned by the
+drivers.
+
+If all drivers on the segment/slot return PCI_ERS_RESULT_CAN_RECOVER,
+then the platform should re-enable IOs on the slot (or do nothing in
+particular, if the platform doesn't isolate slots), and recovery
+proceeds to STEP 2 (MMIO Enable).
+
+If any driver requested a slot reset (by returning PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET),
+then recovery proceeds to STEP 4 (Slot Reset).
+
+If the platform is unable to recover the slot, the next step
+is STEP 6 (Permanent Failure).
+
+.. note::
+
+ The current powerpc implementation assumes that a device driver will
+ *not* schedule or semaphore in this routine; the current powerpc
+ implementation uses one kernel thread to notify all devices;
+ thus, if one device sleeps/schedules, all devices are affected.
+ Doing better requires complex multi-threaded logic in the error
+ recovery implementation (e.g. waiting for all notification threads
+ to "join" before proceeding with recovery.) This seems excessively
+ complex and not worth implementing.
+
+ The current powerpc implementation doesn't much care if the device
+ attempts I/O at this point, or not. I/O's will fail, returning
+ a value of 0xff on read, and writes will be dropped. If more than
+ EEH_MAX_FAILS I/O's are attempted to a frozen adapter, EEH
+ assumes that the device driver has gone into an infinite loop
+ and prints an error to syslog. A reboot is then required to
+ get the device working again.
+
+STEP 2: MMIO Enabled
+--------------------
+The platform re-enables MMIO to the device (but typically not the
+DMA), and then calls the mmio_enabled() callback on all affected
+device drivers.
+
+This is the "early recovery" call. IOs are allowed again, but DMA is
+not, with some restrictions. This is NOT a callback for the driver to
+start operations again, only to peek/poke at the device, extract diagnostic
+information, if any, and eventually do things like trigger a device local
+reset or some such, but not restart operations. This callback is made if
+all drivers on a segment agree that they can try to recover and if no automatic
+link reset was performed by the HW. If the platform can't just re-enable IOs
+without a slot reset or a link reset, it will not call this callback, and
+instead will have gone directly to STEP 3 (Link Reset) or STEP 4 (Slot Reset)
+
+.. note::
+
+ The following is proposed; no platform implements this yet:
+ Proposal: All I/O's should be done _synchronously_ from within
+ this callback, errors triggered by them will be returned via
+ the normal pci_check_whatever() API, no new error_detected()
+ callback will be issued due to an error happening here. However,
+ such an error might cause IOs to be re-blocked for the whole
+ segment, and thus invalidate the recovery that other devices
+ on the same segment might have done, forcing the whole segment
+ into one of the next states, that is, link reset or slot reset.
+
+The driver should return one of the following result codes:
+ - PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED
+ Driver returns this if it thinks the device is fully
+ functional and thinks it is ready to start
+ normal driver operations again. There is no
+ guarantee that the driver will actually be
+ allowed to proceed, as another driver on the
+ same segment might have failed and thus triggered a
+ slot reset on platforms that support it.
+
+ - PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET
+ Driver returns this if it thinks the device is not
+ recoverable in its current state and it needs a slot
+ reset to proceed.
+
+ - PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT
+ Same as above. Total failure, no recovery even after
+ reset driver dead. (To be defined more precisely)
+
+The next step taken depends on the results returned by the drivers.
+If all drivers returned PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED, then the platform
+proceeds to either STEP3 (Link Reset) or to STEP 5 (Resume Operations).
+
+If any driver returned PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET, then the platform
+proceeds to STEP 4 (Slot Reset)
+
+STEP 3: Link Reset
+------------------
+The platform resets the link. This is a PCI-Express specific step
+and is done whenever a fatal error has been detected that can be
+"solved" by resetting the link.
+
+STEP 4: Slot Reset
+------------------
+
+In response to a return value of PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET, the
+the platform will perform a slot reset on the requesting PCI device(s).
+The actual steps taken by a platform to perform a slot reset
+will be platform-dependent. Upon completion of slot reset, the
+platform will call the device slot_reset() callback.
+
+Powerpc platforms implement two levels of slot reset:
+soft reset(default) and fundamental(optional) reset.
+
+Powerpc soft reset consists of asserting the adapter #RST line and then
+restoring the PCI BAR's and PCI configuration header to a state
+that is equivalent to what it would be after a fresh system
+power-on followed by power-on BIOS/system firmware initialization.
+Soft reset is also known as hot-reset.
+
+Powerpc fundamental reset is supported by PCI Express cards only
+and results in device's state machines, hardware logic, port states and
+configuration registers to initialize to their default conditions.
+
+For most PCI devices, a soft reset will be sufficient for recovery.
+Optional fundamental reset is provided to support a limited number
+of PCI Express devices for which a soft reset is not sufficient
+for recovery.
+
+If the platform supports PCI hotplug, then the reset might be
+performed by toggling the slot electrical power off/on.
+
+It is important for the platform to restore the PCI config space
+to the "fresh poweron" state, rather than the "last state". After
+a slot reset, the device driver will almost always use its standard
+device initialization routines, and an unusual config space setup
+may result in hung devices, kernel panics, or silent data corruption.
+
+This call gives drivers the chance to re-initialize the hardware
+(re-download firmware, etc.). At this point, the driver may assume
+that the card is in a fresh state and is fully functional. The slot
+is unfrozen and the driver has full access to PCI config space,
+memory mapped I/O space and DMA. Interrupts (Legacy, MSI, or MSI-X)
+will also be available.
+
+Drivers should not restart normal I/O processing operations
+at this point. If all device drivers report success on this
+callback, the platform will call resume() to complete the sequence,
+and let the driver restart normal I/O processing.
+
+A driver can still return a critical failure for this function if
+it can't get the device operational after reset. If the platform
+previously tried a soft reset, it might now try a hard reset (power
+cycle) and then call slot_reset() again. It the device still can't
+be recovered, there is nothing more that can be done; the platform
+will typically report a "permanent failure" in such a case. The
+device will be considered "dead" in this case.
+
+Drivers for multi-function cards will need to coordinate among
+themselves as to which driver instance will perform any "one-shot"
+or global device initialization. For example, the Symbios sym53cxx2
+driver performs device init only from PCI function 0::
+
+ + if (PCI_FUNC(pdev->devfn) == 0)
+ + sym_reset_scsi_bus(np, 0);
+
+Result codes:
+ - PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT
+ Same as above.
+
+Drivers for PCI Express cards that require a fundamental reset must
+set the needs_freset bit in the pci_dev structure in their probe function.
+For example, the QLogic qla2xxx driver sets the needs_freset bit for certain
+PCI card types::
+
+ + /* Set EEH reset type to fundamental if required by hba */
+ + if (IS_QLA24XX(ha) || IS_QLA25XX(ha) || IS_QLA81XX(ha))
+ + pdev->needs_freset = 1;
+ +
+
+Platform proceeds either to STEP 5 (Resume Operations) or STEP 6 (Permanent
+Failure).
+
+.. note::
+
+ The current powerpc implementation does not try a power-cycle
+ reset if the driver returned PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT.
+ However, it probably should.
+
+
+STEP 5: Resume Operations
+-------------------------
+The platform will call the resume() callback on all affected device
+drivers if all drivers on the segment have returned
+PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED from one of the 3 previous callbacks.
+The goal of this callback is to tell the driver to restart activity,
+that everything is back and running. This callback does not return
+a result code.
+
+At this point, if a new error happens, the platform will restart
+a new error recovery sequence.
+
+STEP 6: Permanent Failure
+-------------------------
+A "permanent failure" has occurred, and the platform cannot recover
+the device. The platform will call error_detected() with a
+pci_channel_state value of pci_channel_io_perm_failure.
+
+The device driver should, at this point, assume the worst. It should
+cancel all pending I/O, refuse all new I/O, returning -EIO to
+higher layers. The device driver should then clean up all of its
+memory and remove itself from kernel operations, much as it would
+during system shutdown.
+
+The platform will typically notify the system operator of the
+permanent failure in some way. If the device is hotplug-capable,
+the operator will probably want to remove and replace the device.
+Note, however, not all failures are truly "permanent". Some are
+caused by over-heating, some by a poorly seated card. Many
+PCI error events are caused by software bugs, e.g. DMA's to
+wild addresses or bogus split transactions due to programming
+errors. See the discussion in powerpc/eeh-pci-error-recovery.txt
+for additional detail on real-life experience of the causes of
+software errors.
+
+
+Conclusion; General Remarks
+---------------------------
+The way the callbacks are called is platform policy. A platform with
+no slot reset capability may want to just "ignore" drivers that can't
+recover (disconnect them) and try to let other cards on the same segment
+recover. Keep in mind that in most real life cases, though, there will
+be only one driver per segment.
+
+Now, a note about interrupts. If you get an interrupt and your
+device is dead or has been isolated, there is a problem :)
+The current policy is to turn this into a platform policy.
+That is, the recovery API only requires that:
+
+ - There is no guarantee that interrupt delivery can proceed from any
+ device on the segment starting from the error detection and until the
+ slot_reset callback is called, at which point interrupts are expected
+ to be fully operational.
+
+ - There is no guarantee that interrupt delivery is stopped, that is,
+ a driver that gets an interrupt after detecting an error, or that detects
+ an error within the interrupt handler such that it prevents proper
+ ack'ing of the interrupt (and thus removal of the source) should just
+ return IRQ_NOTHANDLED. It's up to the platform to deal with that
+ condition, typically by masking the IRQ source during the duration of
+ the error handling. It is expected that the platform "knows" which
+ interrupts are routed to error-management capable slots and can deal
+ with temporarily disabling that IRQ number during error processing (this
+ isn't terribly complex). That means some IRQ latency for other devices
+ sharing the interrupt, but there is simply no other way. High end
+ platforms aren't supposed to share interrupts between many devices
+ anyway :)
+
+.. note::
+
+ Implementation details for the powerpc platform are discussed in
+ the file Documentation/powerpc/eeh-pci-error-recovery.txt
+
+ As of this writing, there is a growing list of device drivers with
+ patches implementing error recovery. Not all of these patches are in
+ mainline yet. These may be used as "examples":

- Driver returns this if it thinks the device is fully
- functional and thinks it is ready to start
- normal driver operations again. There is no
- guarantee that the driver will actually be
- allowed to proceed, as another driver on the
- same segment might have failed and thus triggered a
- slot reset on platforms that support it.
-
- - PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET
- Driver returns this if it thinks the device is not
- recoverable in its current state and it needs a slot
- reset to proceed.
-
- - PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT
- Same as above. Total failure, no recovery even after
- reset driver dead. (To be defined more precisely)
-
-The next step taken depends on the results returned by the drivers.
-If all drivers returned PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED, then the platform
-proceeds to either STEP3 (Link Reset) or to STEP 5 (Resume Operations).
-
-If any driver returned PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET, then the platform
-proceeds to STEP 4 (Slot Reset)
-
-STEP 3: Link Reset
-------------------
-The platform resets the link. This is a PCI-Express specific step
-and is done whenever a fatal error has been detected that can be
-"solved" by resetting the link.
-
-STEP 4: Slot Reset
-------------------
-
-In response to a return value of PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET, the
-the platform will perform a slot reset on the requesting PCI device(s).
-The actual steps taken by a platform to perform a slot reset
-will be platform-dependent. Upon completion of slot reset, the
-platform will call the device slot_reset() callback.
-
-Powerpc platforms implement two levels of slot reset:
-soft reset(default) and fundamental(optional) reset.
-
-Powerpc soft reset consists of asserting the adapter #RST line and then
-restoring the PCI BAR's and PCI configuration header to a state
-that is equivalent to what it would be after a fresh system
-power-on followed by power-on BIOS/system firmware initialization.
-Soft reset is also known as hot-reset.
-
-Powerpc fundamental reset is supported by PCI Express cards only
-and results in device's state machines, hardware logic, port states and
-configuration registers to initialize to their default conditions.
-
-For most PCI devices, a soft reset will be sufficient for recovery.
-Optional fundamental reset is provided to support a limited number
-of PCI Express devices for which a soft reset is not sufficient
-for recovery.
-
-If the platform supports PCI hotplug, then the reset might be
-performed by toggling the slot electrical power off/on.
-
-It is important for the platform to restore the PCI config space
-to the "fresh poweron" state, rather than the "last state". After
-a slot reset, the device driver will almost always use its standard
-device initialization routines, and an unusual config space setup
-may result in hung devices, kernel panics, or silent data corruption.
-
-This call gives drivers the chance to re-initialize the hardware
-(re-download firmware, etc.). At this point, the driver may assume
-that the card is in a fresh state and is fully functional. The slot
-is unfrozen and the driver has full access to PCI config space,
-memory mapped I/O space and DMA. Interrupts (Legacy, MSI, or MSI-X)
-will also be available.
-
-Drivers should not restart normal I/O processing operations
-at this point. If all device drivers report success on this
-callback, the platform will call resume() to complete the sequence,
-and let the driver restart normal I/O processing.
-
-A driver can still return a critical failure for this function if
-it can't get the device operational after reset. If the platform
-previously tried a soft reset, it might now try a hard reset (power
-cycle) and then call slot_reset() again. It the device still can't
-be recovered, there is nothing more that can be done; the platform
-will typically report a "permanent failure" in such a case. The
-device will be considered "dead" in this case.
-
-Drivers for multi-function cards will need to coordinate among
-themselves as to which driver instance will perform any "one-shot"
-or global device initialization. For example, the Symbios sym53cxx2
-driver performs device init only from PCI function 0:
-
-+ if (PCI_FUNC(pdev->devfn) == 0)
-+ sym_reset_scsi_bus(np, 0);
-
- Result codes:
- - PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT
- Same as above.
-
-Drivers for PCI Express cards that require a fundamental reset must
-set the needs_freset bit in the pci_dev structure in their probe function.
-For example, the QLogic qla2xxx driver sets the needs_freset bit for certain
-PCI card types:
-
-+ /* Set EEH reset type to fundamental if required by hba */
-+ if (IS_QLA24XX(ha) || IS_QLA25XX(ha) || IS_QLA81XX(ha))
-+ pdev->needs_freset = 1;
-+
-
-Platform proceeds either to STEP 5 (Resume Operations) or STEP 6 (Permanent
-Failure).
-
->>> The current powerpc implementation does not try a power-cycle
->>> reset if the driver returned PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT.
->>> However, it probably should.
-
-
-STEP 5: Resume Operations
--------------------------
-The platform will call the resume() callback on all affected device
-drivers if all drivers on the segment have returned
-PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED from one of the 3 previous callbacks.
-The goal of this callback is to tell the driver to restart activity,
-that everything is back and running. This callback does not return
-a result code.
-
-At this point, if a new error happens, the platform will restart
-a new error recovery sequence.
-
-STEP 6: Permanent Failure
--------------------------
-A "permanent failure" has occurred, and the platform cannot recover
-the device. The platform will call error_detected() with a
-pci_channel_state value of pci_channel_io_perm_failure.
-
-The device driver should, at this point, assume the worst. It should
-cancel all pending I/O, refuse all new I/O, returning -EIO to
-higher layers. The device driver should then clean up all of its
-memory and remove itself from kernel operations, much as it would
-during system shutdown.
-
-The platform will typically notify the system operator of the
-permanent failure in some way. If the device is hotplug-capable,
-the operator will probably want to remove and replace the device.
-Note, however, not all failures are truly "permanent". Some are
-caused by over-heating, some by a poorly seated card. Many
-PCI error events are caused by software bugs, e.g. DMA's to
-wild addresses or bogus split transactions due to programming
-errors. See the discussion in powerpc/eeh-pci-error-recovery.txt
-for additional detail on real-life experience of the causes of
-software errors.
-
-
-Conclusion; General Remarks
----------------------------
-The way the callbacks are called is platform policy. A platform with
-no slot reset capability may want to just "ignore" drivers that can't
-recover (disconnect them) and try to let other cards on the same segment
-recover. Keep in mind that in most real life cases, though, there will
-be only one driver per segment.
-
-Now, a note about interrupts. If you get an interrupt and your
-device is dead or has been isolated, there is a problem :)
-The current policy is to turn this into a platform policy.
-That is, the recovery API only requires that:
-
- - There is no guarantee that interrupt delivery can proceed from any
-device on the segment starting from the error detection and until the
-slot_reset callback is called, at which point interrupts are expected
-to be fully operational.
-
- - There is no guarantee that interrupt delivery is stopped, that is,
-a driver that gets an interrupt after detecting an error, or that detects
-an error within the interrupt handler such that it prevents proper
-ack'ing of the interrupt (and thus removal of the source) should just
-return IRQ_NOTHANDLED. It's up to the platform to deal with that
-condition, typically by masking the IRQ source during the duration of
-the error handling. It is expected that the platform "knows" which
-interrupts are routed to error-management capable slots and can deal
-with temporarily disabling that IRQ number during error processing (this
-isn't terribly complex). That means some IRQ latency for other devices
-sharing the interrupt, but there is simply no other way. High end
-platforms aren't supposed to share interrupts between many devices
-anyway :)
