+These attributes show up under all the devices that are AER capable.
These
+statistical counters indicate the errors "as seen/reported by the
device".
+Note that this may mean that if an end point is causing problems, the
AER
+counters may increment at its link partner (e.g. root port) because
the
+errors will be "seen" / reported by the link partner and not the the
+problematic end point itself (which may report all counters as 0 as it
never
+saw any problems).

why hex display ? decimal is easy to read as these are counters.

+============================
+PCIe Rootport AER statistics
+============================
+These attributes showup under only the rootports that are AER capable.
These
+indicate the number of error messages as "reported to" the rootport.
Please note
+that the rootports also transmit (internally) the ERR_* messages for
errors seen
+by the internal rootport PCI device, so these counters includes them
and are
+thus cumulative of all the error messages on the PCI hierarchy
originating
+at that root port.
what about switches and bridges ?
Also Can you give some idea as e.g what is the difference between
dev_total_fatal_errs and rootport_total_fatal_errs (assuming that both
are same pci_dev.
rootport_total_fatal_errs gives me an idea that how many times things
have been failed under this pci_dev ?
which means num of downstream link problems. but I am still trying to
make sense as how it could be used,
since we dont have BDF information associated with the number of errors
anywhere (except these AER print messages)
and dev_total_fatal_errs as you mentioned above that problematic EP,
then say root-port will report it and increment
dev_total_fatal_errs ++
does it also increment root-port_total_fatal_errs ++ in above scenario ?
