[PATCH v18 01/13] cxl/ras: Fix cxl_rch_get_aer_severity() wrong severity register
From: Terry Bowman
Date: Fri Jul 17 2026 - 18:28:39 EST
cxl_rch_get_aer_severity() classifies RCH Downstream Port uncorrectable
errors as fatal or non-fatal by ANDing uncorrectable status with
PCI_ERR_ROOT_FATAL_RCV. This is wrong because PCI_ERR_ROOT_FATAL_RCV is a
Root Error Status register bit (bit 6), not a severity bit. ANDing it
against uncorrectable status tests a reserved bit and produces incorrect
severity classification.
Fix by ANDing the unmasked uncor_status against uncor_severity. Per
PCIe Base Spec r6.0 Section 7.8.4.4, each bit in the Uncorrectable
Error Severity register indicates whether the corresponding error is
fatal (1) or non-fatal (0).
