Oh, that's good to know, thanks! I guess we'll have to think more about the error stuff. What sort of tools would this break? There are no AER tools since the AER stats sysfs files don't exist yet, so I assume there are some generic sysfs tools or libraries. Incidentally, https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/sysfs-rules.html suggests that maybe we should be documenting these files with /sys/devices paths instead of the symlinks in /sys/bus/pci/devices/, e.g., diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-pci b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-pci -What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../msi_bus -What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../msi_irqs/ -What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../msi_irqs/<N> +What: /sys/devices/pci*/.../msi_bus +What: /sys/devices/pci*/.../msi_irqs/ +What: /sys/devices/pci*/.../msi_irqs/<N>
