The tree carries Hans Zhang's "PCI: Configure Root Port MPS during host
probing" as v7, two patches, since 9877a95 in December 2025. The series
is still not upstream; v9 was posted on 2026-09-16 and fixes a hole the v7
version leaves open.

v7 raises a Root Port's MPS to its DevCap value before enumeration, and
pci_configure_mps() lowers it again only when the endpoint sits directly
below a Root Port. Behind a Switch the Switch ports have already inherited
the larger MPS, the reduction is skipped, and an endpoint with a smaller
MPSS keeps the oversized setting — a Malformed TLP waiting to happen. The
new first patch walks the subordinate bus and reduces the whole hierarchy
instead. The second one now checks what pcie_set_mps() returned, and the
third drops the same meson_set_max_payload() as before, plus the dead
macros it leaves behind.

Applies to meson64-6.18, -7.2 and -7.3 (no MPS patch in -6.12). Patching
verified for 7.2 (70/70 applied), including alongside the pci-meson.c
changes from #10740, which touch the same file.

On ODROID-HC4 this changes nothing measurable, which is the point: no
Switch, the ASM1061 hangs directly off the Root Port, and both ends end up
at MPS 256 with either version — the endpoint advertises MPSS 512, the
kernel matches it down to the Root Port's 256. Checked with 32 GiB written
and read back through fio with crc32c verification across two SSDs behind
the port: no errors, Root Port AER counters at zero.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • PCIe Maximum Payload Size (MPS) is now configured consistently across Root Ports and downstream devices.
    • PCIe hierarchies are automatically adjusted when connected devices support smaller payload sizes, improving compatibility.
    • MPS setup is skipped when bus configuration disables tuning or uses peer-to-peer mode.
    • Unsupported devices and virtual functions are excluded from hierarchy-wide MPS adjustments.
  • Refactor

    • Meson PCIe controllers now rely on centralized PCI core handling for MPS configuration.
    • Maximum Read Request Size (MRRS) configuration remains supported.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The archived Meson PCIe patch series moves Root Port MPS handling into PCI core logic. It removes Meson-specific MPS programming, keeps MRRS configuration, and updates archive patch files for meson64 6.18, 7.2, and 7.3.

Changes

Meson PCIe MPS handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
PCI core MPS configuration
patch/kernel/archive/meson64-6.18/..., patch/kernel/archive/meson64-7.2/..., patch/kernel/archive/meson64-7.3/...
pci_configure_mps() initializes Root Port MPS and reduces MPS across the Root Port subordinate hierarchy when required. It skips non-PCIe devices and VFs and warns when MPS programming fails.
Meson driver MPS removal
patch/kernel/archive/meson64-6.18/..., patch/kernel/archive/meson64-7.2/..., patch/kernel/archive/meson64-7.3/...
The Meson driver no longer programs MPS. It renames the size helper for MRRS, updates the warning text, and retains MRRS setup.
Versioned patch archive updates
patch/kernel/archive/meson64-6.18/*, patch/kernel/archive/meson64-7.2/*, patch/kernel/archive/meson64-7.3/*
The archive deletes superseded v7 patch files and stores the v9 patch series.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 54bb0

The updated archive series consistently centralizes PCIe MPS handling while retaining Meson MRRS configuration. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

- Around line 93-94: Update the MPS-reduction flow around pcie_reduce_mps and
pci_walk_bus so it only runs during initial enumeration, or otherwise quiesces
the entire PCIe hierarchy before reducing the Root Port and subordinate devices.
Preserve the reduction order while preventing active, driver-bound sibling
functions from transmitting with stale larger MPS values, and apply the same
correction to the 7.2 and 7.3 patch copies.
