[+cc Christoph, Ethan, Sinan, Keith; sorry should have cc'd you to
begin with since you're looking at this code too. Particularly
interested in your thoughts about whether we should be touching
PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND and PCI_ERR_ROOT_STATUS when we don't own AER.]

aer_root_reset() function has a prefix  'aer_', looks like it's a
function of aer driver, will
only be called by aer driver at runtime. if so it's up to the
owner/aer to know if OSPM is
granted to init. while actually some of the functions and runtime service of
aer driver is also shared by GHES driver (running time) and DPC driver
(compiling time ?)
etc. then it is confused now.

Shall we move some of the shared functions and running time service to
pci/err.c ?
if so , just like pcie_do_recovery(), it's share by firmware_first  mode GHES
ghes_probe()
->ghes_irq_func
  ->ghes_proc
    ->ghes_do_proc()
      ->ghes_handle_aer()
        ->aer_recover_work_func()
          ->pcie_do_recovery()
            ->aer_root_reset()

and aer driver etc.  if aer wants to do some access might conflict
with firmware(or
firmware in embedded controller) should check _OSC_ etc first. blindly issue
PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND  or clear PCI_ERR_ROOT_STATUS *likely*
cause errors by error handling itself.

If _OSC negotiation ends up with FW being in control of AER, that means OS is not in charge and should not be messing with AER I guess. That seems appropriate to me then.
But APEI based notification is more like a hybrid approach (frimware first detects the
error and notifies OS). Since spec does not clarify what OS is allowed to do, its bit of a
gray area now. My point is, since firmware allows OS to process the error by sending
the notification, I think its OK to clear the status once the error is handled.

Thanks,

Sean

From: Qiuxu Zhuo <qiuxu.zhuo@xxxxxxxxx>

When attempting error recovery for an RCiEP associated with an RCEC device,
there needs to be a way to update the Root Error Status, the Uncorrectable
Error Status and the Uncorrectable Error Severity of the parent RCEC.  In
some non-native cases in which there is no OS-visible device associated
with the RCiEP, there is nothing to act upon as the firmware is acting
before the OS.

Add handling for the linked RCEC in AER/ERR while taking into account
non-native cases.

Not directly related to *this* patch, but my assumption was that in
the APEI case, the firmware should retain ownership of the AER
Capability, so the OS should not touch PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND and
PCI_ERR_ROOT_STATUS.

But this code appears to ignore that ownership.  Jonathan, you must
have looked at this recently for 068c29a248b6 ("PCI/ERR: Clear PCIe
Device Status errors only if OS owns AER").  Do you have any insight
about this?

-   pci_write_config_dword(dev, aer + PCI_ERR_ROOT_STATUS, reg32);

-   pci_write_config_dword(dev, aer + PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND, reg32);
+           /* Enable Root Port's interrupt in response to error messages */
+           pci_read_config_dword(root, aer + PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND, &reg32);
+           reg32 |= ROOT_PORT_INTR_ON_MESG_MASK;
+           pci_write_config_dword(root, aer + PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND, reg32);
+   }

+           if (pcie_has_flr(root)) {
+                   rc = pcie_flr(root);
+                   pci_info(dev, "has been reset (%d)\n", rc);
+           }
+   } else {
+           rc = pci_bus_error_reset(root);

Don't we want "dev" for both the FLR and pci_bus_error_reset()?  I
think "root == dev" except when dev is an RCiEP.  When dev is an
RCiEP, "root" is the RCEC (if present), and we want to reset the
RCiEP, not the RCEC.

+           pci_info(dev, "Root Port link has been reset (%d)\n", rc);
+   }

There are a couple changes here that I think should be split out.

Based on my theory that when firmware retains control of AER, the OS
should not touch PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND and PCI_ERR_ROOT_STATUS, and any
updates to them would have to be done by firmware before we get here,
I suggested reordering this:

  - clear PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND ROOT_PORT_INTR_ON_MESG_MASK
  - do reset
  - clear PCI_ERR_ROOT_STATUS (for APEI, presumably done by firmware?)
  - enable PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND ROOT_PORT_INTR_ON_MESG_MASK

to this:

  - clear PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND ROOT_PORT_INTR_ON_MESG_MASK
  - clear PCI_ERR_ROOT_STATUS
  - enable PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND ROOT_PORT_INTR_ON_MESG_MASK
  - do reset

If my theory is correct, I think we should still reorder this, but:

  - It's a significant behavior change that deserves its own patch so
    we can document/bisect/revert.

  - I'm not sure why we clear the PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND error reporting
    bits.  In the new "clear COMMAND, clear STATUS, enable COMMAND"
    order, it looks superfluous.  There's no reason to disable error
    reporting while clearing the status bits.

    The current "clear, reset, enable" order suggests that the reset
    might cause errors that we should ignore.  I don't know whether
    that's the case or not.  It dates from 6c2b374d7485 ("PCI-Express
    AER implemetation: AER core and aerdriver"), which doesn't
    elaborate.

  - Should we also test for OS ownership of AER before touching
    PCI_ERR_ROOT_STATUS?

  - If we remove the PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND fiddling (and I tentatively
    think we *should* unless we can justify it), that would also
    deserve its own patch.  Possibly (1) remove PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND
    fiddling, (2) reorder PCI_ERR_ROOT_STATUS clearing and reset, (3)
    test for OS ownership of AER (?), (4) the rest of this patch.

    return rc ? PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT : PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED;
