This is a design and an initial patch for kernel side for AER
support in VFIO.
0. What happens now (PCIE AER only)
Fatal errors cause a link reset.
Non fatal errors don't.
All errors stop the VM eventually, but not immediately
because it's detected and reported asynchronously.
Interrupts are forwarded as usual.
Correctable errors are not reported to guest at all.
Note: PPC EEH is different. This focuses on AER.
1. Correctable errors
I don't see a need to report these to guest. So let's not.
2. Fatal errors
It's not easy to handle them gracefully since link reset
is needed. As a first step, let's use the existing mechanism
in that case.
2. Non-fatal errors
Here we could make progress by reporting them to guest
and have guest handle them.
Issues:
a. this behaviour should only be enabled with new userspace
old userspace should work without changes
Suggestion: One way to address this would be to add a new eventfd
non_fatal_err_trigger. If not set, invoke err_trigger.
b. drivers are supposed to stop MMIO when error is reported
if vm keeps going, we will keep doing MMIO/config
Suggestion 1: ignore this. vm stop happens much later when userspace runs anyway,
so we are not making things much worse
Suggestion 2: try to stop MMIO/config, resume on resume call
Patch below implements Suggestion 1.
c. PF driver might detect that function is completely broken,
if vm keeps going, we will keep doing MMIO/config
Suggestion 1: ignore this. vm stop happens much later when userspace runs anyway,
so we are not making things much worse
Suggestion 2: detect this and invoke err_trigger to stop VM
Patch below implements Suggestion 2.
Aside: we currently return PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT when device
is not attached. This seems bogus, likely based on the confusing name.
We probably should return PCI_ERS_RESULT_CAN_RECOVER.
The following patch does not change that.

The patch is completely untested. Let's discuss the design first.
