Dear Linux folks,
Running the Firmware Test Suite (fwts) [1] on an ASRock E350M1, it suggests that ASPM should be enabled. The module r8169 disables ASPM since the commit below. commit ba04c7c93bbcb48ce880cf75b6e9dffcd79d4c7b Author: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgrus...@redhat.com> Date: Tue Feb 22 02:00:11 2011 +0000 r8169: disable ASPM For some time is known that ASPM is causing troubles on r8169, i.e. make device randomly stop working without any errors in dmesg. Currently Tomi Leppikangas reports that system with r8169 device hangs with MCE errors when ASPM is enabled: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642861#c4 Lets disable ASPM for r8169 devices at all, to avoid problems with r8169 PCIe devices at least for some users. Reported-by: Tomi Leppikangas <tomi.leppikan...@gmail.com> Cc: sta...@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgrus...@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <da...@davemloft.net> As over five years have passed now, do you think that is still needed? I wonder why no module parameter was added back then, where users could enable ASPM if it works on their systems? Because there is no such situation and it always fails?
