PCI/ASPM: Use dev->has_secondary_link to find downstream links
We allocate pcie_link_state for the component at the upstream end of a Link. Previously we did this by allocating pcie_link_state for Root Ports and Downstream Ports. This works fine for the typical topology: 00:1c.0 Root Port [bridge to bus 02] 02:00.0 Upstream Port [bridge to bus 03] 03:00.0 Downstream Port [bridge to bus 04] 04:00.0 Endpoint or Switch Port However, it is possible to have a Root Port connected to a Downstream Port instead of an Upstream Port, as in Robert White's ATCA system: 00:1c.0 Root Port [bridge to bus 02] 02:00.0 Downstream Port [bridge to bus 03] 03:01.0 Downstream Port [bridge to bus 04] 04:00.0 Endpoint or Switch Port In this topology, we wrongly allocated pcie_link_state for the 02:00.0 Downstream Port, which is actually the *downstream* end of a link. This led to the following NULL pointer dereference when we tried to connect this link into the tree of links starting at the 00:1c.0 Root Port: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000088 IP: [<ffffffff81550324>] pcie_aspm_init_link_state+0x744/0x850 Hardware name: Kontron B3001/B3001, BIOS 4.6.3 08/07/2012 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8153b865>] pci_scan_slot+0xd5/0x120 [<ffffffff8153ca1d>] pci_scan_child_bus+0x2d/0xd0 ... Instead of relying on the component type to identify the upstream end of a link, use the "dev->has_secondary_link" field. This means it's now possible for an Upstream Port to have a link on its secondary side, so alloc_pcie_link_state() needs to connect links originating from both Upstream and Downstream Ports into the tree.
