Lukas Wunner 6c35a1ac3d PCI: pciehp: Tolerate initially unstable link
When a device is hotplugged, Presence Detect and Link Up events often do
not occur simultaneously, but with a lag of a few milliseconds.  Only
the first event received is relevant, the other one can be disregarded.

Moreover, Stefan Roese reports that on certain platforms, Link State and
Presence Detect may flap for up to 100 ms before stabilizing, suggesting
that such events should be disregarded for at least this long:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180130084121.18653-1-sr@denx.de

On slot enablement, pciehp_check_link_status() waits for 100 ms per
PCIe r4.0, sec 6.7.3.3, then probes the hotplugged device's vendor
register for up to 1 second.

If this succeeds, the link is definitely up, so ignore any Presence
Detect or Link State events that occurred up to this point.

pciehp_check_link_status() then checks the Link Training bit in the
Link Status register.  This is the final opportunity to detect
inaccessibility of the device and abort slot enablement.  Any link
or presence change that occurs afterwards will cause the slot to be
disabled again immediately after attempting to enable it.

The astute reviewer may appreciate that achieving this behavior would be
more complicated had pciehp not just been converted to enable/disable
the slot exclusively from the IRQ thread:  When the slot is enabled via
sysfs, each link or presence flap would otherwise cause the IRQ thread
to run and it would have to sense that those events are belonging to a
concurrent slot enablement operation and disregard them.  It would be
much more difficult than this mere 3 line change.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
