From: Hou Zhiqiang <Zhiqiang.Hou@xxxxxxx> The commit 6d2c89441571 ("PCI/ERR: Update error status after reset_link()") overrode the 'status' returned by the error_detect() call back function, which is depended on by the next step. This overriding makes the Endpoint driver's required info (kept in the var status) lost, so it results in the fatal errors' recovery failed and then kernel panic. In the e1000e case, the error logs: pcieport 0002:00:00.0: AER: Uncorrected (Fatal) error received: 0002:01:00.0 e1000e 0002:01:00.0: AER: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Uncorrected (Fatal), type=Inaccessible, (Unregistered Agent ID) pcieport 0002:00:00.0: AER: Root Port link has been reset SError Interrupt on CPU0, code 0xbf000002 -- SError CPU: 0 PID: 111 Comm: irq/76-aerdrv Not tainted 5.7.0-rc7-next-20200526 #8 Hardware name: LS1046A RDB Board (DT) pstate: 80000005 (Nzcv daif -PAN -UAO BTYPE=--) pc : __pci_enable_msix_range+0x4c8/0x5b8 lr : __pci_enable_msix_range+0x480/0x5b8 sp : ffff80001116bb30 x29: ffff80001116bb30 x28: 0000000000000003 x27: 0000000000000003 x26: 0000000000000000 x25: ffff00097243e0a8 x24: 0000000000000001 x23: ffff00097243e2d8 x22: 0000000000000000 x21: 0000000000000003 x20: ffff00095bd46080 x19: ffff00097243e000 x18: ffffffffffffffff x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000000 x15: ffffb958fa0e9948 x14: ffff00095bd46303 x13: ffff00095bd46302 x12: 0000000000000038 x11: 0000000000000040 x10: ffffb958fa101e68 x9 : ffffb958fa101e60 x8 : 0000000000000908 x7 : 0000000000000908 x6 : ffff800011600000 x5 : ffff00095bd46800 x4 : ffff00096e7f6080 x3 : 0000000000000000 x2 : 0000000000000000 x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : 0000000000000000 Kernel panic - not syncing: Asynchronous SError Interrupt CPU: 0 PID: 111 Comm: irq/76-aerdrv Not tainted 5.7.0-rc7-next-20200526 #8 I think it's the expected result that "if the initial value of error status is PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT or PCI_ERS_RESULT_NO_AER_DRIVER then even after successful recovery (using reset_link()) pcie_do_recovery() will report the recovery result as failure" which is described in commit 6d2c89441571 ("PCI/ERR: Update error status after reset_link()"). Refer to the Documentation/PCI/pci-error-recovery.rst. As the error_detect() is mandatory callback if the pci_err_handlers is implemented, if it return the PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT, it means the driver doesn't want to recover at all; For the case PCI_ERS_RESULT_NO_AER_DRIVER, if the pci_err_handlers is not implemented, the failure is more expected.
