Thanks for considering this. The AER rework I have in mind is a longer-term project, so unless you have time and interest in doing that, I think we should apply your patch since it's all ready to go. You pointed to the problem statement, but I think it would be good to include a brief outline directly in the commit log, e.g., something like this: ghes_handle_aer() passes AER data to the PCI core for logging and recovery by calling aer_recover_queue() with a pointer to struct aer_capability_regs. The problem was that aer_recover_queue() queues the pointer directly without copying the aer_capability_regs data. The pointer was to the ghes->estatus buffer, which could be reused before aer_recover_work_func() reads the data. To avoid this problem, allocate a new aer_capability_regs structure from the ghes_estatus_pool, copy the AER data from the ghes->estatus buffer into it, pass a pointer to the new struct to aer_recover_queue(), and free it after aer_recover_work_func() has processed it. What's your take on this, Rafael? The biggest change is in drivers/acpi, so if you want to take it, feel free to add my: Acked-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@xxxxxxxxxx> > >> aer_recover_queue(pcie_err->device_id.segment, > >> pcie_err->device_id.bus, > >> devfn, aer_severity, > >> (struct aer_capability_regs *) > >> - pcie_err->aer_info); > >> + aer_info); > >> } > >> #endif > >> } > >> diff --git a/drivers/pci/pcie/aer.c b/drivers/pci/pcie/aer.c index > >> e85ff946e8c8..388b614c11fd 100644 > >> --- a/drivers/pci/pcie/aer.c > >> +++ b/drivers/pci/pcie/aer.c > >> @@ -29,6 +29,7 @@ > >> #include <linux/kfifo.h> > >> #include <linux/slab.h> > >> #include <acpi/apei.h> > >> +#include <acpi/ghes.h> > >> #include <ras/ras_event.h> > >> > >> #include "../pci.h" > >> @@ -996,6 +997,15 @@ static void aer_recover_work_func(struct work_struct > >*work) > >> continue; > >> } > >> cper_print_aer(pdev, entry.severity, entry.regs); > >> + /* > >> + * Memory for aer_capability_regs(entry.regs) is being > >allocated from the > >> + * ghes_estatus_pool to protect it from overwriting when > >multiple sections > >> + * are present in the error status.
