Sounds good.

Thanks for the heads up.
This seems to have changed since I looked at the DPC code.

It sounds like we are cross-talking two issues.

1. no state restore on DPC after FATAL error.
Let's fix this.

2. no bus reset on NON_FATAL error through AER driver path.
This already tells me that you need to split your change into
multiple patches.

Let's talk about this too. bus reset should be triggered via
AER driver before informing the recovery.

	if (status == PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET) {
		/*
		 * TODO: Should call platform-specific
		 * functions to reset slot before calling
		 * drivers' slot_reset callbacks?
		 */
		status = PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED;
		pci_dbg(dev, "broadcast slot_reset message\n");
		pci_walk_bus(bus, report_slot_reset, &status);
	}
