My overall comment is that I think the series will be simpler and read better if you first change AER to do remove/re-enumerate, before doing anything with DPC. This could be done by extracting just the AER part of "PCI/AER/DPC: Align FATAL error handling for AER and DPC" (i.e., adding pcie_do_fatal_recovery()) and moving that to be the very first patch. It's a small change in terms of code size, but significant to drivers, and it's really the core of the series, so it would be good to clearly establish the policy of: ERR_NONFATAL => call driver recovery entry points ERR_FATAL => remove and re-enumerate before bringing DPC into the picture. Then the subsequent patches would all be more or less mechanical changes to make DPC follow the same model. Bjorn
