When root port has DPC capability and it is enabled, then triggered by errors, DPC DLLSC and PDC etc interrupts will be sent to DPC driver, pciehp drivers almost at the same time. Thus will cause following messed and confused errors handling/recovery/ removal/plugin procedure. 1. Port and device are in error recovery resetting initiated by DPC hardware, pciehp driver treats them as device is doing hot-remove or hot-plugin the same time. 2. While DPC handler calling device driver->err_handler callback( error_detected/resume etc), but the slot may be powered off by pciehp -> remove_board() -> pciehp_power_off_slot(). 3. While DPC handler -> pci_do_recovery is doing different action to detect error and recover based on device->error_state, pciehp driver could change it on the fly by: pciehp_unconfigure_device() ->pci_walk_bus() -> pci_dev_set_disconnected() 4. While DPC handler is calling device driver err_handler callback to detect error and recover, pciehp driver could is doing device unbind and release its driver. ... While NON-FATAL/FATAL errors happen while hotplug is(is not)doing, result is not determinate. So we need some kind of synchronization between pciehp DLLSC/PDC handling and DPC driver error recover handling. we need a determinate result of DPC error containment, link is recovered, link isn't recovered, device is still there, device is removed, then do pciehp hot-remove and hot-plugin procudure, don't mix them together. Per our test on ICS platform, DPC error containment and software handler will take 10ms up to 50ms till clean the DPC triggered status. it is quick enough for pciehp compared with its 1000ms waiting to ignore DLLSC/PDC after doing power off. With this patch, the handling flow of DPC containment and hotplug is partly ordered and serialized, let hardware DPC do the controller reset etc recovery action first, then DPC driver handling the call-back from device drivers, clear the DPC status, at the end, pciehp handle the DLLSC and PDC etc. After tens of PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD brute force hot-remove and hot-plugin with any time internval between the two actions, also stressed with the DPC injection test. system recovered to normal working state from NON-FATAL/FATAL errors as expected. hotplug works well without any random undeterminate errors or malfunction.
