sorry, I read your description, which said VGA, but your are filtering on
display class,
which includes non-VGA as well. So, all set ... but large, (x16) non-VGA
display devices
are probably one of the most aggressive DMA engines on a system.... and will
grow as
asymmetric processing using GPUs gets architected into a device-agnostic manner.
So, this may work well for servers, which is the primary consumer/user of this
feature,
and they typically have built-in graphics that are generally used in simple VGA
mode,
so this may be sufficient for now.

You probably don't want to hear it but....
a) only turn off cmd-reg master enable bit
b) only do reset based on a list of devices known not to
obey their cmd-reg master enable bit, and only do reset to those devices.
But, given the testing you've done so far, this optional (need cmdline) feature,
let's start here.

Right, that's a 'duh' on my part.
I thought 'disable iommu' == 'block all dma' and it just turns it off &
let's the ongoing DMA run...
Please ignore this question... sigh.

This should be renamed. it implies it is saving the config of the pdev passed
in,
when in reality, it is saving the config of all the devices attached to this
pdev.

This works well for x86, which uses ioport registers to access
these <256-offset registers, b/c the write() function can't return
until the write is actually completed, but for a non-x86 system,
with fully mmconf'd PCI space, a write() may still be a write & run
(sitting in CPU write-merge) buffer, so if you need a full 2ms,
you ought to do another read_config() to the device, to flush the write,
before starting the msleep(2) clock.

My apologies if past thread covered this sequence...
Why three loops through all PCIe devices on the system?
why not have the first for-each-pci-dev() loop filter devices
to be reset, and save_config those pdev's,
return a list of saved_pdev's; feed that list into the do_device_reset();
then mpsleep(), then restore the list.
in fact, once you create a link list of pdev's to reset,
just loop that list doing save, then reset; rtn the list, do msleep(),
then restore the config of pdevs in the list.
Otherwise, doing much more traversing than what's needed.
Doing a great deal more config-saving then needed right now as well
(saving all non-endpt devices that aren't reset).
