[edk2-devel] [PATCH v2] MdeModulePkg/PciHostBridgeDxe: Add readback after final Cfg-Write

["Joe L" <jlotwo@gmail.com>]

From: joelopez333 <jlotwo@gmail.com>

    REF:https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/topic/102310377#110456

    Problem Report:

    On AARCH64, there is no ordering guarantee between configuration
    space (ECAM) writes and memory space reads (MMIO). ARM AMBA CHI
    only guarantees ordering for reads and writes within a single address region,
    however, on some systems MMIO and ECAM may be split into separate
    address regions.

    A problem may arise when an ECAM write is issued a completion before a subsequent
    MMIO read is issued and receives a completion.

    For example, a typical PCI software flow is the following:

    1. ECAM write to device command register to enable memory space
    2. MMIO read from device memory space for which access was enabled
    in step 1.

    There is no guarantee that step 2. will not begin before the completion of step 1.
    on systems where ECAM/MMIO are specified as separate address regions, even
    if both spaces have the memory attributes device-nGnRnE.

    Fix:

    - Add a read after the final PCI Configuration space write
      in RootBridgeIoPciAccess.

    - When configuration space is strongly ordered, this ensures
      that program execution cannot continue until the completion
      is received for the previous Cfg-Write, which may have side-effects.

    - Risk of reading a "write-only" register and causing a CA which leaves the device
      unresponsive. The expectation based on the PCI Base Spec v6.1 section 7.4 is that
      all PCI Spec-defined registers will be readable, however, there may exist
      design-specific registers that fall into this category.
