A PCI-to-PCIe bridge (a "reverse bridge") has a PCI or PCI-X primary interface and a PCI Express secondary interface. The PCIe interface is a Downstream Port that originates a Link. See the "PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X Bridge Specification", rev 1.0, sections 1.2 and A.6. The bug report below involves a PCI-to-PCIe bridge and a PCIe switch below the bridge: 00:1e.0 Intel 82801 PCI Bridge to [bus 01-0a] 01:00.0 Pericom PI7C9X111SL PCIe-to-PCI Reversible Bridge to [bus 02-0a] 02:00.0 Pericom Device 8608 [PCIe Upstream Port] to [bus 03-0a] 03:01.0 Pericom Device 8608 [PCIe Downstream Port] to [bus 0a] 01:00.0 is configured as a PCI-to-PCIe bridge (despite the name printed by lspci). As we traverse a PCIe hierarchy, device connections alternate between PCIe Links and internal Switch logic. Previously we did not recognize that 01:00.0 had a secondary link, so we thought the 02:00.0 Upstream Port *did* have a secondary link. In fact, it's the other way around: 01:00.0 has a secondary link, and 02:00.0 has internal Switch logic on its secondary side. When we thought 02:00.0 had a secondary link, the pci_scan_slot() -> only_one_child() path assumed 02:00.0 could have only one child, so 03:00.0 was the only possible downstream device. But 03:00.0 doesn't exist, so we didn't look for any other devices on bus 03. Booting with "pci=pcie_scan_all" is a workaround, but we don't want users to have to do that. Recognize that PCI-to-PCIe bridges originate links on their secondary interfaces.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
