I don't understand this part. Previously the ERR_FATAL path looked like
this:

  do_recovery
    reset_link
      driver->reset_link
        aer_root_reset
          pci_reset_bridge_secondary_bus                # <-- reset
    broadcast_error_message(..., report_resume)
      pci_walk_bus(..., report_resume, ...)
        report_resume
      if (cb == report_resume)
        pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status
pci_write_config_dword(PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS) # <-- clear status

After this patch, it will look like this:

  do_recovery
    do_fatal_recovery
      pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status
pci_write_config_dword(PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS) # <-- clear status
      reset_link
        driver->reset_link
          aer_root_reset
            pci_reset_bridge_secondary_bus              # <-- reset
            aer_error_resume
pcie_capability_write_word(PCI_EXP_DEVSTA) # <-- clear more pci_write_config_dword(PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS) # <-- clear status

So if I'm understanding correctly, the new path clears the status too
early, then clears it again (plus clearing DEVSTA, which we didn't do
before) later.

I would think we would want to leave aer_root_reset() alone, and just move the pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status() in do_fatal_recovery() down so it happens after we call reset_link(). That way the reset/clear sequence
would be the same as it was before.

I've been fiddling with this a bit myself and will post the results to see
what you think.


ok so you are suggesting to move pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status down which I can do.

And not to call aer_error_resume, because you think its clearing the status again.

following code: calls aer_error_resume.
pci_broadcast_error_message()
 /*
* If the error is reported by an end point, we think this * error is related to the upstream link of the end point.
                 */
                if (state == pci_channel_io_normal)
                        /*
* the error is non fatal so the bus is ok, just invoke * the callback for the function that logged the error.
                         */
                        cb(dev, &result_data);
                else
                        pci_walk_bus(dev->bus, cb, &result_data);


besides aer_error_resume does following things in addition to clearing PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS

/* Clean up Root device status */
	pcie_capability_read_word(dev, PCI_EXP_DEVSTA, &reg16);
	pcie_capability_write_word(dev, PCI_EXP_DEVSTA, reg16);

if (dev->error_state == pci_channel_io_normal)
		status &= ~mask; /* Clear corresponding nonfatal bits */
	else
		status &= mask; /* Clear corresponding fatal bits */
	pci_write_config_dword(dev, pos + PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS, status);


so we have to have conditional call
such as
if (dev->hdr_type != PCI_HEADER_TYPE_BRIDGE)
           error_resume


so the code might look like this..

do_recovery
   do_fatal_recovery
       reset_link
         driver->reset_link
           aer_root_reset
               pci_reset_bridge_secondary_bus              # <-- reset
           if (dev->hdr_type != PCI_HEADER_TYPE_BRIDGE)
           {
               aer_error_resume
pcie_capability_write_word(PCI_EXP_DEVSTA) # <-- clear more pci_write_config_dword(PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS) # <--
           }
           pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status(dev);


does it make sense ?
