The presence detect state (PDS) is normally a logical OR of in-band and out-of-band (OOB) presence detect. As of PCIe 4.0, there is the option to disable in-band presence so that the PDS bit always reflects the state of the out-of-band presence. The recommendation of the PCIe spec is to disable in-band presence whenever supported (PCIe r5.0, appendix I implementation note): Due to architectural issues, the in-band (Physical-Layer-based) portion of the PD mechanism is deprecated for use with async hot-plug. One issue is that in-band PD as architected does not detect adapter removal during certain LTSSM states, notably the L1 and Disabled States. Another issue is that when both in-band and OOB PD are being used together, the Presence Detect State bit and its associated interrupt mechanism always reflect the logical OR of the inband and OOB PD states, and with some hot-plug hardware configurations, it is important for software to detect and respond to in-band and OOB PD events independently. If OOB PD is being used and the associated DSP supports In-Band PD Disable, it is recommended that the In-Band PD Disable bit be Set, and the Presence Detect State bit and its associated interrupt mechanism be used exclusively for OOB PD. As a substitute for in-band PD with async hot-plug, the reference model uses either the DPC or the DLL Link Active mechanism.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
