Hi Bjorn,

the above patch removes ERR_FATAL handling from pcie_portdrv_slot_reset()
because now we are handling ERR_FATAL differently than before.

I tried to dig into pcie_portdrv_slot_reset() handling for ERR_FATAL case
where it
restores the config space, enable device, set master and enable error
reporting....
and as far as I understand this is being done for upstream link (bridges
etc..)

why was it done at the first point (I checked the commit description, but
could not really get it)
and do we need to handle the same thing in ERR_FATAL now ?

You mean 4bf3392e0bf5 ("PCI-Express AER implemetation: pcie_portdrv
error handler"), which added pcie_portdrv_slot_reset()? I agree, that
commit log has no useful information. I don't know any of the history
behind it.


Yes Bjorn thats right.
I am trying to understand it but no clue.
since it is restoring the stuffs in ERR_FATAL case, why would PCIe bridge loose all the settings ? [config space, aer bits, master, device enable etc..)
Max we do is link_reset in ERR_FATAL case, and Secondary bus reset should affect downstream components (not upstream)
