I don't understand this part. Previously the ERR_FATAL path looked like
this:

do_recovery
reset_link
driver->reset_link
aer_root_reset
pci_reset_bridge_secondary_bus # <-- reset
broadcast_error_message(..., report_resume)
pci_walk_bus(..., report_resume, ...)
report_resume
if (cb == report_resume)
pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status
pci_write_config_dword(PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS) # <-- clear status

After this patch, it will look like this:

do_recovery
do_fatal_recovery
pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status
pci_write_config_dword(PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS) # <-- clear status
reset_link
driver->reset_link
aer_root_reset
pci_reset_bridge_secondary_bus # <-- reset
aer_error_resume
pcie_capability_write_word(PCI_EXP_DEVSTA) # <-- clear more
pci_write_config_dword(PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS) # <-- clear status

So if I'm understanding correctly, the new path clears the status too
early, then clears it again (plus clearing DEVSTA, which we didn't do
before) later.

I would think we would want to leave aer_root_reset() alone, and just move
the pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status() in do_fatal_recovery() down so
it happens after we call reset_link(). That way the reset/clear sequence
would be the same as it was before.

I've been fiddling with this a bit myself and will post the results to see
what you think.


ok so you are suggesting to move pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status down which I can do.

And not to call aer_error_resume, because you think its clearing the status again.

following code: calls aer_error_resume.
pci_broadcast_error_message()
/*
* If the error is reported by an end point, we think this
* error is related to the upstream link of the end point.
*/
if (state == pci_channel_io_normal)
/*
* the error is non fatal so the bus is ok, just invoke
* the callback for the function that logged the error.
*/
cb(dev, &result_data);
else
pci_walk_bus(dev->bus, cb, &result_data);


besides aer_error_resume does following things in addition to clearing PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS

/* Clean up Root device status */
pcie_capability_read_word(dev, PCI_EXP_DEVSTA, &reg16);
pcie_capability_write_word(dev, PCI_EXP_DEVSTA, reg16);

if (dev->error_state == pci_channel_io_normal)
status &= ~mask; /* Clear corresponding nonfatal bits */
else
status &= mask; /* Clear corresponding fatal bits */
pci_write_config_dword(dev, pos + PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS, status);


so we have to have conditional call
such as
if (dev->hdr_type != PCI_HEADER_TYPE_BRIDGE)
error_resume


so the code might look like this..

do_recovery
do_fatal_recovery
reset_link
driver->reset_link
aer_root_reset
pci_reset_bridge_secondary_bus # <-- reset
if (dev->hdr_type != PCI_HEADER_TYPE_BRIDGE)
{
aer_error_resume
pcie_capability_write_word(PCI_EXP_DEVSTA) # <-- clear more
pci_write_config_dword(PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS) # <--
}
pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status(dev);


does it make sense ?
