Testing has shown, that AER reporting is currently disabled in the

I want to be a little pedantic here because the error landscape is
complicated, and I think it will help if we correspond closely to the
spec language.

Device Control controls Error Reporting (whether the device sends
ERR_* messages), and IIUC this is relevant even without AER (I'm
looking at PCIe r6.0, sec 6.2.5, which refers to CERE, NERE, FERE
outside the AER box).

Can you update this with analysis of the code as opposed to what we
observe in testing?  Hopefully the analysis corresponds to the
observations :)  Here's my take; probably too much for a commit log,
but maybe it can be distilled:

   pcie_portdrv_probe
     pcie_port_device_register
       get_port_device_capability
         pci_disable_pcie_error_reporting
           clear CERE NFERE FERE URRE               # <-- disable for RP USP DSP
       pcie_device_init
         device_register                            # new AER service device
           aer_probe
             aer_enable_rootport                    # RP only
               set_downstream_devices_error_reporting
                 set_device_error_reporting         # self (RP)
                   if (RP || USP || DSP)
                     pci_enable_pcie_error_reporting
                       set CERE NFERE FERE URRE     # <-- enable for RP
                 pci_walk_bus
                   set_device_error_reporting
                     if (RP || USP || DSP)
                       pci_enable_pcie_error_reporting
                         set CERE NFERE FERE URRE   # <-- enable for USP DSP

In a typical Root Port -> Endpoint hierarchy, the above:

   - Disables Error Reporting for the Root Port,

   - Enables Error Reporting for the Root Port,

   - Does NOT enable Error Reporting for the Endpoint because it is not
     a Root Port or Switch Port.

In a deeper Root Port -> Upstream Switch Port -> Downstream Switch
Port -> Endpoint hierarchy:

   - Disables Error Reporting for the Root Port,

   - Enables Error Reporting for the Root Port,

   - Enables Error Reporting for both Switch Ports,

   - Does NOT enable Error Reporting for the Endpoint because it is not
     a Root Port or Switch Port,

   - Disables Error Reporting for the Switch Ports when
     pcie_portdrv_probe() claims them.  AER does not re-enable it
     because these are not Root Ports.

I think the bottom line is that the current code leaves reporting
enabled on Root Ports and disabled everywhere else.  It's enabled
temporarily on Switch Ports, but disabled again when
pcie_portdrv_probe() claims them.

The core doesn't do anything with Endpoints, but a few drivers enable
reporting themselves.  This probably only works when their devices are
directly connected to a Root Port.

Correct. This is also my understanding.

This is due to the fact that with commit 2bd50dd800b5 ("PCI: PCIe:
Disable PCIe port services during port initialization"), a call to
pci_disable_pcie_error_reporting() was added *after* the PCIe AER
setup was completed for the PCIe device tree.

IIUC, 2bd50dd800b5 is really only an issue for Switch Ports, because
it makes portdrv disable reporting for them, but AER doesn't re-enable
it.

This patch now removes this call to pci_disable_pcie_error_reporting()
from get_port_device_capability(), leaving the already enabled AER
configuration intact. With this change, I'm able to fully use the
Kernel AER infrastructure on a ZynqMP system which has a PCIe switch
connected to the host CPU PCIe Root Port.

This patch doesn't affect the Endpoint, and I assume you also need to
enable reporting there?

Yes. If we want the PCI core to have control here and fully enable the
AER including the PCIe devices, as we agreed upon in the other thread,
then the Endpoint also needs to have AER enabled. I'll probably add 2
2nd patch to this one (with updated commit message), which handles the
Endpoint AER.

Thanks,
Stefan
