Adding linux-pci because this hack actually tampers with internal PCI device state, which looks wrong. The thread is here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=125918723218627 and the proposed full patch and explanation below. PCI people, is this correct, or is there a better way to do it? James --- Hi, After commits c82f63e411f1b58427c103bd95af2863b1c96dd1 (PCI: check saved state before restore) and 4b77b0a2ba27d64f58f16d8d4d48d8319dda36ff (PCI: Clear saved_state after the state has been restored) PCI drivers are prevented from restoring the device standard configuration registers twice in a row. These changes introduced a regression on ipr EEH recovery. The ipr device driver saves the PCI state only during the device probe and restores it on ipr_reset_restore_cfg_space() during IOA resets. This behavior is causing the EEH recovery to fail after the second error detected, since the registers are not being restored. One possible solution would be saving the registers after restoring them. The problem with this approach is that while recovering from an EEH error if pci_save_state() results in an EEH error, the adapter/slot will be reset, and end up back in ipr_reset_restore_cfg_space(), but it won't have a valid saved state to restore, so pci_restore_state() will fail. The following patch introduces a workaround for this problem, hacking around the PCI API by setting pdev->state_saved = true before we do the restore. It fixes the EEH regression and prevents that we hit another EEH error during EEH recovery.
