As Lukas mentioned, please include the hardware and BIOS version
where you see this issue.
Reproduced on "Hardware name: Intel Corporation ArcherCity/ArcherCity,
  BIOS EGSDCRB1.86B.0107.D20.2310211929 10/21/2023"

still notify OS to handle it. thus following trick is needed in EDR when
double reporting (hot removal interrupt && dpc notification) is hit.
EDR notification is generally used when a firmware wants OS to invalidate
or recover the error state of child devices when handling a containment event.
Since this DPC event is a side effect of async removal, there is no recovery
involved. So there is no value in firmware notifying the OS via an ACPI notification
and then OS ignoring it.

If you check the PCIe firmware spec, sec 4.6.12, IMPLEMENTATION NOTE, it
recommends firmware to ignore the DPC due to hotplug surprise.
My understanding is the same, let firmware to ignore the errors and bring
it out of DPC.

But due to the wording like:
"FW should not issue Notify(0xF) to avoid doule reporting. FW should clear
*other* UC errors logged by port(if any) and bring link out of DPC if it has
entered DPC."

"Since surprise hot remove event is signaled to OS via hot plug interrupt, FW should
not issue Notify(0xF) to avoid double reporting. FW should clear other UC errors logged
by port (if any) and bring link out of DPC if it has entered DPC."


Above statement is a note about how to treat DPC triggered due to async
removal. Since OS already gets notification via DLLSC change (hotplug interrupt),
there is no need for reporting again using EDR notification. I think the flow
chart is very clear about handling the hotplug related error case. Also the
note "Clear other UC errors" means it also includes "Surprise Down" error.

Agree. some BIOS writers might misunderstand that as leave "Surprise Down"
error to OS for specicial treatment.

Thanks,
Ethan


Some BIOS writers have different understanding, wouldn't clear the surprise
down error.

Thanks,
Ethan
