Thanks for this!
This device can tolerate unlimited delay for L1 exit (DevCtl Endpoint
L1 Acceptable Latency is unlimited) and it makes no guarantees about
how fast it can exit L1 (LnkCap L1 Exit Latency is also unlimited), so
I think there's basically no restriction on when it can enter ASPM
L1.0.
I have a hard time interpreting the L1.2 entry conditions in PCIe
r5.0, sec 5.5.1, but I can believe it enters L1.2 aggressively since
the device says it can tolerate any latencies.
If L1.2 exit takes 3100us, it could do ~60 L1 exits in 200ms. I guess
config accesses and code execution can account for some of that, but
still seems like a lot of L1 entries/exits during suspend. I wouldn't
think we would touch the device that much and that intermittently.

If I understand this patch correctly, it basically does this:
pci_save_state
+ pcie_save_aspm_control
+ pcie_disable_aspm
<save state>
+ pcie_restore_aspm_control
The <save state> part is just a bunch of config reads with very little
other code execution. I'm really surprised that there's enough time
between config reads for the link to go to L1. I guess you've
verified that this does speed up suspend significantly, but this just
doesn't make sense to me.
In the bugzilla you say the GL9750 can go to L1.2 after ~4us of
inactivity. That's enough time for a lot of code execution. We must
be missing something. There's so much PCI traffic during save/restore
that it should be easy to match up the analyzer trace with the code.
Can you get any insight into what's going on that way?
