[PATCH 0/4] pci/aer: Handle Advisory Non-Fatal properly

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



According to PCIe specification 4.0 sections 6.2.3.2.4 and 6.2.4.3,
certain uncorrectable errors will signal ERR_COR instead of
ERR_NONFATAL, logged as Advisory Non-Fatal Error, and set bits in
both Correctable Error Status register and Uncorrectable Error Status
register. Currently, when handling AER event the kernel will only look
at CE status or UE status, but never both. In the Advisory
Non-Fatal Error case, bits set in UE status register will not be
reported and cleared until the next Fatal/Non-Fatal error arrives.

For instance, before this patch series, once kernel receives an ANFE
with Poisoned TLP in OS native AER mode, only status of CE will be
reported and cleared:

[  148.459816] pcieport 0000:b7:02.0: AER: Corrected error received: 0000:b7:02.0
[  148.459858] pcieport 0000:b7:02.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Transaction Layer, (Receiver ID)
[  148.459863] pcieport 0000:b7:02.0:   device [8086:0db0] error status/mask=00002000/00000000
[  148.459868] pcieport 0000:b7:02.0:    [13] NonFatalErr           

If the kernel receives a Malformed TLP after that, two UE will be
reported, which is unexpected. Malformed TLP Header was lost since
the previous ANF gated the TLP header logs:

[  170.540192] pcieport 0000:b7:02.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Uncorrected (Fatal), type=Transaction Layer, (Receiver ID)
[  170.552420] pcieport 0000:b7:02.0:   device [8086:0db0] error status/mask=00041000/00180020
[  170.561904] pcieport 0000:b7:02.0:    [12] TLP                    (First)
[  170.569656] pcieport 0000:b7:02.0:    [18] MalfTLP       

To handle this case properly, this patch set adds additional fields
in aer_err_info to track both CE and UE status/mask and UE severity.
This information will later be used to determine the register bits
that need to be cleared. Additionally, adds more data to aer_event
tracepoint, which would help to better understand ANFE and other errors
for external observation.

In the previous scenario, after this patch series, both CE status and
related UE status will be reported and cleared after ANFE:

[  148.459816] pcieport 0000:b7:02.0: AER: Corrected error received: 0000:b7:02.0
[  148.459858] pcieport 0000:b7:02.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Transaction Layer, (Receiver ID)
[  148.459863] pcieport 0000:b7:02.0:   device [8086:0db0] error status/mask=00002000/00000000
[  148.459868] pcieport 0000:b7:02.0:    [13] NonFatalErr           
[  148.459868] pcieport 0000:b7:02.0:   Uncorrectable errors that may cause Advisory Non-Fatal:
[  148.459868] pcieport 0000:b7:02.0:    [18] TLP
