Intel Revs Linux Driver Patches To Fend Off PCIe Thermal Issues Via Bandwidth Reduction

Originally published last summer were patches from Intel for the Linux kernel to introduce a PCI Express bandwidth controller Linux driver to provide a PCIe cooling mechanism via bandwidth reduction to devices in order to prevent thermal issues. One year later this driver continues to be worked on and today brought the eighth iteration of these patches. Having to limit the PCIe link speed for thermal reasons is no fun, but should your system(s) be enduring such environments, the v8 driver code for review can be found on the Linux power management mailing list.
