As per PCI firmware specification r3.2 Downstream Port Containment
Related Enhancements ECN,
Specific reference, please, e.g., the section/table/figure of the PCI
Firmware Spec being modified by the ECN.
Ok. I will include it.
OS is responsible for clearing the AER
registers in EDR mode. So clear AER registers in dpc_process_error()
function.

I guess "EDR mode" is effectively the same as "firmware-first mode"?
Yes, EDR mode is an upgrade to FF mode in which firmware allows OS
to share some of it job by sending ACPI notification. If you don't
get ACPI notification, EDR mode is effectively same as FF mode.
May be I can add some documentation in code to explain the EDR mode better.
Hmm, somehow the connection between FF and EDR needs to be clear from
the code, so people who weren't involved in the development of EDR and
don't even have access to the specs/ECNs can make sense out of this.
At least, the only place we set "firmware_dpc = 1" is:
+ if (pcie_aer_get_firmware_first(pdev))
+ dpc->firmware_dpc = 1;
If they're the same, why do we need two different names for it?
For better readability and performance, I tried to cache the value of
pcie_aer_get_firmware_first() result in DPC driver.
pcie_aer_get_firmware_first() already caches the value, so I don't
think you're gaining any useful performance here, and having two
different names *decreases* readability.
Ok. I can replace "firmware_dpc" with pcie_aer_get_firmware_first() calls.
I do agree that pcie_aer_get_firmware_first() is not optimally
implemented. I think we should probably look up the firmware-first
indication explicitly during enumeration so we don't have to bother
with the dev->__aer_firmware_first_valid thing. And if we got rid of
all those leading underscores, it would probably run faster, too ;)
I agree that pcie_aer_get_firmware_first() can be optimized. I can submit a
patch for it once this patch set is merged.
