[PATCH v3 0/4] PCI/AER: Report fatal errors of RCiEP and EP if link recoverd

From: Shuai Xue
Date: Fri Feb 07 2025 - 04:36:58 EST


changes since v2:
- moving the "err_port" rename to a separate patch per Sathyanarayanan
- rewrite comments of dpc_process_error per Sathyanarayanan
- remove NULL initialization for err_dev per Sathyanarayanan

changes since v1:
- rewrite commit log per Bjorn
- refactor aer_get_device_error_info to reduce duplication per Keith
- fix to avoid reporting fatal errors twice for root and downstream ports per Keith

The AER driver has historically avoided reading the configuration space of an
endpoint or RCiEP that reported a fatal error, considering the link to that
device unreliable. Consequently, when a fatal error occurs, the AER and DPC
drivers do not report specific error types, resulting in logs like:

pcieport 0000:30:03.0: EDR: EDR event received
pcieport 0000:30:03.0: DPC: containment event, status:0x0005 source:0x3400
pcieport 0000:30:03.0: DPC: ERR_FATAL detected
pcieport 0000:30:03.0: AER: broadcast error_detected message
nvme nvme0: frozen state error detected, reset controller
nvme 0000:34:00.0: ready 0ms after DPC
pcieport 0000:30:03.0: AER: broadcast slot_reset message

AER status registers are sticky and Write-1-to-clear. If the link recovered
after hot reset, we can still safely access AER status of the error device.
In such case, report fatal errors which helps to figure out the error root
case.

After this patch set, the logs like:

pcieport 0000:30:03.0: EDR: EDR event received
pcieport 0000:30:03.0: DPC: containment event, status:0x0005 source:0x3400
pcieport 0000:30:03.0: DPC: ERR_FATAL detected
pcieport 0000:30:03.0: AER: broadcast error_detected message
nvme nvme0: frozen state error detected, reset controller
pcieport 0000:30:03.0: waiting 100 ms for downstream link, after activation
nvme 0000:34:00.0: ready 0ms after DPC
nvme 0000:34:00.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Uncorrectable (Fatal), type=Data Link Layer, (Receiver ID)
nvme 0000:34:00.0: device [144d:a804] error status/mask=00000010/00504000
nvme 0000:34:00.0: [ 4] DLP (First)
pcieport 0000:30:03.0: AER: broadcast slot_reset message

Shuai Xue (4):
PCI/DPC: Rename pdev to err_port for dpc_handler
PCI/EDR: Rename edev to err_port for edr_handle_event
PCI/DPC: Run recovery on device that detected the error
PCI/AER: Report fatal errors of RCiEP and EP if link recoverd
