In my case ASM2824 switch board connected to EPYC's root port (via SlimSAS 8i cable and on upstream site it negotiates expected 8GT/s x8) were supposed to provide 10x slots with PCIe x1 Gen3 links. However lspci shows that link is capped at 2.5GT/s and NVME plugged into one of the slots is downgraded to 2.5GT/s. I wonder if it could be fixed to get expected 8GT/s per lane.

Attempt to handle cases with a downstream port of the ASMedia ASM2824 PCIe switch where link training never completes and the link continues switching between speeds indefinitely with the data link layer never reaching the active state. It has been observed with a downstream port of the ASMedia ASM2824 Gen 3 switch wired to the upstream port of the Pericom PI7C9X2G304 Gen 2 switch, using a Delock Riser Card PCI Express x1 > 2 x PCIe x1 device, P/N 41433, wired to a SiFive HiFive Unmatched board. In this setup the switches are supposed to negotiate the link speed of preferably 5.0GT/s, falling back to 2.5GT/s. However the link continues oscillating between the two speeds, at the rate of 34-35 times per second, with link training reported repeatedly active ~84% of the time, e.g.: 02:03.0 PCI bridge [0604]: ASMedia Technology Inc.

Rozycki <macro@orcam.me.uk> --- Hi, Reposting as it has gone nowhere. Mechanically regenerated for a merge conflict only, no changes otherwise. This proposal includes support for a scenario where the firmware has restricted the speed for a port already, for access to any downstream boot devices if nothing else, such as with the U-Boot change proposed here: <https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2021-November/467852.html>. This is why the removal of the 2.5GT/s speed restriction is done regardless of whether it was us to put it in place in the first place. Credit goes to Stefan for a suggestion to check for any interaction with the de-emphasis level, which gave me incentive for further experimentation that has eventually made me discover that lifting the restriction makes the two devices negotiate 5GT/s. This is especially worthwhile given that the Delock part (<https://www.delock.com/produkt/41433/merkmale.html>), since discontinued, has a 5GT/s x1 upstream port and a pair of 2.5GT/s x1 downstream ports so keeping the upstream port at it's maximum speed avoids a bottleneck there. For the background story as to how I tried to get the manufacturers of the devices involved, unsuccessfully, except for the guys from SiFive who were at least sympathetic (thank you!), but this level of hardware debug was beyond their skills and/or resources, and then how I discovered how to persuade the two devices to talk to each other at all, at 2.5GT/s, see: <https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2021-November/467199.html>. One case that has been nurturing me though is the reverse scenario, that is where the Pericom PI7C9X2G304 switch is upstream while the ASMedia ASM2824 switch is downstream. Presumably the same situation will happen, so matching on the ASM2824 ID only would be a problem. Unfortunately the other device does not implement the Data Link Layer Link Active status bit, so a more complex approach, such as clearing and then checking for the Link Bandwidth Management Status having been set again might be an option. Unlike U-Boot we cannot do aggressive polling of the Link Training bit. Option hardware with M.2 slots is commercially available with the ASM2824 onboard, so a test environment can be in principle arranged, though I'm not sure if just for the sake of such an experiment I'm willing to spend money that will ultimately go to a manufacturer that cannot be bothered to take responsibility for their faults and at the very least respond to a problem report. And without verifying the actual problem exists I'm reluctant to try and implement a workaround. On the other hand the problem with the Unmatched board is real and this change addresses it, at least for me. NB the BUG_ON there is a safety valve really for an "impossible" case. The ASM2824 is a PCIe device and necessarily it does have the PCI Express capability. Poking at that unguarded though just didn't feel right to me, while doing any kind of full-fledged recovery seemed like an overkill. Questions, comments, concerns? Otherwise please apply.
