Bug ID: 198171
Summary: [AMD][X399] Inconsistent PCIe lane linking count
Product: Drivers
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 4.15-rc3
Hardware: x86-64
OS: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: PCI
Assignee: drivers_pci@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
Reporter: barry@grussling.com
Regression: No

I have an AMD Threadripper system with an MSI X399 gaming carbon pro
motherboard and a 1900X CPU. When it boots, sometimes one of my cards (Intel
X550 NIC) initializes X1 link trained and sometimes it link trains at X4. I
have tried this card in various other (Intel based) systems and not experienced
this issue.

I am uncertain if this is a Bios issue, PCIe driver issue, or something else.
I am running the latest MB bios revision (V16 as of this writing).

In general, it seems like cold boots come up with a X1 width for the LnkSta and
warm reboots come up with X4 width for the LnkSta. This is not absolute
though, as I have observed both inversions.

I will attach complete outputs but here are the highlights:
$ diff x550.{good,bad}
31c31
< LnkSta: Speed 8GT/s, Width x4, TrErr- Train- SlotClk+ DLActive-
BWMgmt- ABWMgmt-
---
> LnkSta: Speed 8GT/s, Width x1, TrErr- Train- SlotClk+ DLActive-
> BWMgmt- ABWMgmt-

Note that LnkCap always reports x4.

This system is new and the video card that is currently in it requires the AMD
DC patch set that was accepted in the 4.15-rc1 cycle. As such, I have no prior
data for this configuration. I am open to installing another video card and
trying older kernel versions if it would help.

There are some native host bridge drivers that do things with link
training, but you're using the ACPI host bridge driver, which doesn't
touch that, and the PCI core itself doesn't do anything in that area
either.

My guess is there something in the BIOS that is responsible for the
difference.
