Capitalize "device" and "Function" the same way (also appears in

"AER external capabilities" -- is that referring to the "AER
*Extended* capability"? If so, we usually don't bother including the
"extended" part because it's usually not relevant. But if you intended
"external", I don't know what it means.

Can you make this more concrete with an example topology so we can
work through how this all works? Correct me when I go off the rails
here:
The current code uses pcie_walk_rcec() in this path, which basically
searches below a Root Port or RCEC for devices that have an AER error
status bit set, add them to the e_info[] list, and call
handle_error_source() for each one:
aer_isr_one_error
# get e_src from aer_fifo
find_source_device(e_src)
pcie_walk_rcec(find_device_iter)
find_device_iter
is_error_source
# read PCI_ERR_COR_STATUS or PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS
if (error-source)
add_error_device
# add device to e_info[] list
# now call handle_error_source for everything in e_info[]
aer_process_err_devices
for (i = 0; i < e_info->err_dev_num; i++)
handle_error_source
IIUC, this patch basically says that an RCEC should have an AER error
status bit (UIE or CIE) set, but the devices "below" the RCEC will
not, so they won't get added to e_info[].
So we insert cxl_handle_error() in handle_error_source(), where it
gets called for the RCEC, and then it uses pcie_walk_rcec() again to
forcibly call handle_error_source() for *every* device "below" the
RCEC (even though they don't have AER error status bits set).
Then handle_error_source() ultimately calls the CXL driver err_handler
entry points (.cor_error_detected(), .error_detected(), etc), which
can look at the CXL-specific error status in the CXL RAS or RCRB or
whatever.
So this basically looks like a workaround for the fact that the AER
code only calls handle_error_source() when it finds AER error status,
and CXL doesn't *set* that AER error status. There's not that much
code here, but it seems like a quite a bit of complexity in an area
that is already pretty complicated.
Here's another idea: the ACPI GHES code (ghes_handle_aer()) basically
receives a packet of error status from firmware and queues it for
recovery via pcie_do_recovery(). What if you had a CXL module that
knew how to look for the CXL error status, package it up similarly,
and queue it via aer_recover_queue()?
