Please make the subject a little more specific. "rearrange the general sequence" doesn't say anything about what was affected.

"Step 2 and step 3" are not meaningful here in the commit log. It needs to spell out what those steps are so the log makes sense by itself. "reset_link" does not appear in pcie_do_recovery(). I'm guessing you're referring to the "reset_subordinates" function pointer? > Signed-off-by: Wesley Sheng <wesley.sheng@xxxxxxx> I didn't quite understand your response to Oliver, so I'll wait for your corrections and his ack before proceeding. > --- > Documentation/PCI/pci-error-recovery.rst | 23 ++++++++++++----------- > 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/Documentation/PCI/pci-error-recovery.rst b/Documentation/PCI/pci-error-recovery.rst > index 187f43a03200..ac6a8729ef28 100644 > --- a/Documentation/PCI/pci-error-recovery.rst > +++ b/Documentation/PCI/pci-error-recovery.rst > @@ -184,7 +184,14 @@ is STEP 6 (Permanent Failure). > and prints an error to syslog.
