In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

PCI: Fix link speed calculation on retrain failure

When pcie_failed_link_retrain() fails to retrain, it tries to revert to the

previous link speed. However it calculates that speed from the Link

Control 2 register without masking out non-speed bits first.

PCIE_LNKCTL2_TLS2SPEED() converts such incorrect values to

PCI_SPEED_UNKNOWN (0xff), which in turn causes a WARN splat in

pcie_set_target_speed():

pci 0000:00:01.1: [1022:14ed] type 01 class 0x060400 PCIe Root Port

pci 0000:00:01.1: broken device, retraining non-functional downstream link at 2.5GT/s

pci 0000:00:01.1: retraining failed

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at drivers/pci/pcie/bwctrl.c:168 pcie_set_target_speed

RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 00000000000000ff RDI: ffff9acd82efa000

pcie_failed_link_retrain

pci_device_add

pci_scan_single_device

Mask out the non-speed bits in PCIE_LNKCTL2_TLS2SPEED() and

PCIE_LNKCAP_SLS2SPEED() so they don't incorrectly return PCI_SPEED_UNKNOWN.
