[ Upstream commit 9f0e89359775ee21fe1ea732e34edb52aef5addf ]
In commit 27d868b5e6cf ("PCI: Set MPS to match upstream bridge"), we made
sure every device's MPS setting matches its upstream bridge, making it more
likely that a hot-added device will work in a system with an optimized MPS
configuration.
Recently I've started encountering systems where the endpoint device's MPSS
capability is less than its Root Port's current MPS value, thus the
endpoint is not capable of matching its upstream bridge's MPS setting (see:
bugzilla via "Link:" below). This leaves the system vulnerable - the
upstream Root Port could respond with larger TLPs than the device can
handle, and the device will consider them to be 'Malformed'.
One could use the "pci=pcie_bus_safe" kernel parameter to work around the
issue, but that forces a user to supply a kernel parameter to get the
system to function reliably and may end up limiting MPS settings of other
unrelated, sub-topologies which could benefit from maintaining their larger
values.
Augment Keith's approach to include tuning down a Root Port's MPS setting
when its hot-added endpoint device is not capable of matching it.

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.
