Re: Dmesg filled with "AER: Corrected error received"

Hi,

Indeed booting with pci=noaer (as suggested in the other bug) works around this issue as well. I'll use that for the time being.

Thanks for working on it!

Hi Linux PCI maintainers,

My dmesg gets filled with a few lines repeated over and over again:

pcieport 0000:00:1c.0: AER: Corrected error received: id=00e0
pcieport 0000:00:1c.0: can't find device of ID00e0
pcieport 0000:00:1c.0: AER: Corrected error received: id=00e0
pcieport 0000:00:1c.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected,
type=Physical Layer, id=00e0(Receiver ID)
pcieport 0000:00:1c.0:   device [8086:9d14] error
status/mask=00000001/00002000
pcieport 0000:00:1c.0:    [ 0] Receiver Error

This happens 10-30 times per second (!), so dmesg fills up quickly.
The bug is present in both vanilla and Ubuntu kernels.

This is a pretty obvious bug in our AER code.  We normally clear
correctable errors by writing the PCI_ERR_COR_STATUS register in
handle_error_source().  The execution path looks like this:

   aer_isr_one_error
     aer_print_port_info
     if (find_source_device())
       aer_process_err_devices
         handle_error_source
           pci_write_config_dword(dev, PCI_ERR_COR_STATUS, ...)

In this case, find_source_device() printed "can't find device of
ID00e0" [sic] and returned false, so we don't call
aer_process_err_devices().  The error is never cleared, so
we discover it again and again.

I'll work on fixing this.  Incidentally, there's another report
with similar symptoms here:
