If a bridge supports hotplug and observes a PCIe fatal error, the following
events happen:

1. AER driver removes the devices from PCI tree on fatal error
2. AER driver brings down the link by issuing a secondary bus reset waits
for the link to come up.
3. Hotplug driver observes a link down interrupt
4. Hotplug driver tries to remove the devices waiting for the rescan lock
but devices are already removed by the AER driver and AER driver is waiting
for the link to come back up.
5. AER driver tries to re-enumerate devices after polling for the link
state to go up.
6. Hotplug driver obtains the lock and tries to remove the devices again.

If a bridge is a hotplug capable bridge, mask hotplug interrupts before the
reset and unmask afterwards.

Would it work for you if you just amended the AER driver to skip
removal and re-enumeration of devices if the port is a hotplug bridge?
Just check for is_hotplug_bridge in struct pci_dev.


I tend to agree with you Lukas.

on this line I already have follow up patches
although I am waiting for Bjorn to review some patch-series before that.
[PATCH v2 0/6] Fix issues and cleanup for ERR_FATAL and ERR_NONFATAL

It doesn't look to me a an entirely a race condition since its guarded by pci_lock_rescan_remove())
I observed that both hotplug and aer/dpc comes out of it in a quiet sane state.

My thinking is: Disabling hotplug interrupts during ERR_FATAL,
is something little away from natural course of link_down event handling, which is handled by pciehp more maturely.
so it would be just easy not to take any action e.g. removal and re-enumeration of devices from ERR_FATAL handling point of view.

I leave it to Bjorn.

follwing is the patch wich I am trying to set it right and under test.
so till now I am in an opinion to handle this by checking in err.c

That would seem like a much simpler solution, given that it is known
that the link will flap on reset, causing the hotplug driver to remove
and re-enumerate devices. That would also cover cases where hotplug is
handled by a different driver than pciehp, or by the platform firmware.

Thanks,
