Hi, Some PCI drivers implement EEH (Extended Error Handling) and need to restore the PCI state during an error recovery. After commit 4b77b0a2ba27d64f58f16d8d4d48d8319dda36ff (PCI: Clear saved_state after the state has been restored) a device driver cannot restore the standard configuration registers twice in a row, so the driver would need to call pci_save_state() after calling pci_restore_state() during the error recovery. The problem is that if pci_save_state() results in an EEH error, the driver will reset the slot/adapter and will call pci_restore_state() again, but won't have a valid saved state to restore. Any thoughts on how to solve this issue? Thanks, -- Kleber S.
