[+cc Tyler for AER dmesg decoding] I really like this idea a lot; thanks for putting it together!

From the doc patch, I think it is currently: /sys/bus/pci/devices/<dev>/aer_stats/dev_breakdown_correctable /sys/bus/pci/devices/<dev>/aer_stats/dev_breakdown_uncorrectable - I'm not sure it's worth making a new subdirectory. What if you simply added these? /sys/bus/pci/devices/<dev>/aer_correctable /sys/bus/pci/devices/<dev>/aer_uncorrectable or perhaps, since you split the "total" files into cor/nonfatal/fatal, these could match? /sys/bus/pci/devices/<dev>/aer_correctable /sys/bus/pci/devices/<dev>/aer_nonfatal /sys/bus/pci/devices/<dev>/aer_fatal I think the nonfatal/fatal distinction might be worth exposing because some of those are configurable and the kernel handling is significantly different. So I think it would make this more approachable if the "remove/re-enumerate" situations that will be obvious in dmesg logs were clearly connected with "aer_fatal" statistics, as opposed to being connected to some subset of what's in "aer_uncorrectable". - Possibly the totals that you currently have in dev_total_cor_errs could even be added to the bottom of these? Not sure what direction would be best, and as you say, there's the potential for confusion because the individual items won't add up to the totals. If they were in the same file, maybe that could be addressed in the label. - Can you include the related doc update in the same patch? That way the doc update is more likely to be backported along with the patch. - I was going to ask whether these should all be in a single file or whether they should be split up so there's a separate file for each type or error, each containing a single number. But Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt says either is OK and /sys/devices/system/node/node0/vmstat is an example of a similar situation in an existing file, so I think what you did is perfect. > Signed-off-by: Rajat Jain <rajatja@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > v5: Fix the signature > v4: use "%llu" in place of "%llx" > v3: Merge everything in aer.c > > drivers/pci/pcie/aer.c | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > 1 file changed, 28 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/drivers/pci/pcie/aer.c b/drivers/pci/pcie/aer.c > index ce0d675d7bd3..c989bb5bb6f1 100644 > --- a/drivers/pci/pcie/aer.c > +++ b/drivers/pci/pcie/aer.c > @@ -587,10 +587,38 @@ aer_stats_aggregate_attr(dev_total_cor_errs); > aer_stats_aggregate_attr(dev_total_fatal_errs); > aer_stats_aggregate_attr(dev_total_nonfatal_errs); > > +#define aer_stats_breakdown_attr(field, stats_array, strings_array) \ > + static ssize_t \ > + field##_show(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, \ > + char *buf) \ > +{ \ > + unsigned int i; \ > + char *str = buf; \ > + struct pci_dev *pdev = to_pci_dev(dev); \ > + u64 *stats = pdev->aer_stats->stats_array; \ Nit: add a blank line here. > + for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(strings_array); i++) { \ > + if (strings_array[i]) \ > + str += sprintf(str, "%s = 0x%llu\n", \ > + strings_array[i], stats[i]); \ > + else if (stats[i]) \ > + str += sprintf(str, #stats_array "bit[%d] = 0x%llu\n",\ > + i, stats[i]); \ - I like the way this uses the same text as used in dmesg (aer_correctable_error_string[] and aer_uncorrectable_error_string[]). - I think this incorrectly prints a "0x" prefix for a decimal number (probably an artifact of your v4 change). - Tyler posted a patch [1] to update those dmesg strings so they match the way lspci decodes them. I really liked that update, but we never quite finished it. If we're going to do that, it would be nice to do it first, so we don't publish new sysfs files, then immediately change the labels used in them. - IIRC, Tyler's patch had the nice property of changing the strings so each error name had no spaces, which would make it a little easier to parse this sysfs file: each line would be a single identifier followed by a single number (I would probably remove the "=" from the middle).
