From 6748dcc269e52925993e0d68447858b41b88b4be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2012 00:06:33 +0100 Subject: PCI / PCIe: Introduce command line option to disable ARI There are PCIe devices on the market that report ARI support but then fail to initialize correctly when ARI is actually used. This leads to situations in which kernels 2.6.34 and newer fail to handle systems where the previous kernels worked without any apparent problems. Unfortunately, it is currently unknown how many such devices are there. For this reason, introduce a new kernel command line option, pci=noari, allowing users to disable PCIe ARI altogether if they see problems with PCIe device initialization. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
