Damien Le Moal 691a8e26de PCI: Avoid FLR for AMD FCH AHCI adapters
commit 63ba51db24ed1b8f8088a897290eb6c036c5435d upstream.

PCI passthrough to VMs does not work with AMD FCH AHCI adapters: the guest
OS fails to correctly probe devices attached to the controller due to FIS
communication failures:

  ata4: softreset failed (1st FIS failed)
  ...
  ata4.00: qc timeout after 5000 msecs (cmd 0xec)
  ata4.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4)

Forcing the "bus" reset method before unbinding & binding the adapter to
the vfio-pci driver solves this issue, e.g.:

  echo "bus" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<ID>/reset_method

gives a working guest OS, indicating that the default FLR reset method
doesn't work correctly.

Apply quirk_no_flr() to AMD FCH AHCI devices to work around this issue.

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.

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.
