Unless pcie_aspm is disabled, the kernel log is filled with "PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Data Link Layer, id=00e5(Transmitter ID)" messages

[Dmitrii Shcherbakov]

The kernel log is constantly filled with the following:

  236.912499] pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: AER: Corrected error received: id=00e5
[ 236.912545] pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Data Link Layer, id=00e5(Transmitter ID)
[ 236.912553] pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: device [8086:a115] error status/mask=00001000/00002000
[ 236.912558] pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: [12] Replay Timer Timeout

This drains battery, CPU cycles and makes the kernel log unreadable.

Adding pcie_aspm hides that:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet button.lid_init_state=open pcie_aspm=off"

Present in the upstream Linux kernel (see the attachment for 4.11 rc8).

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a kernel version where you were not having this particular problem? This will help determine if the problem you are seeing is the result of a regression, and when this regression was introduced. If this is a regression, we can perform a kernel bisect to identify the commit that introduced the problem.

[Dmitrii Shcherbakov (dmitriis)]

Hi Joseph,

Not a regression. I installed Zesty while it was in beta on this machine and an issue was there already.

Tried 4.8 on a live usb - had that issue as well.

This is a relatively new hw so 4.4 kernel was not possible to boot properly.

[Dmitrii Shcherbakov (dmitriis)]

Reproduced on 4.8-36-generic (the log has rotated due to the volume of messages so the kernel version message is not there).

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.11 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Joseph,
