Hi, Lukas,
Where is the the pci_dev_get() to balance the pci_dev_put() here?
The corresponding pci_dev_get() is called in add_error_device(). Please
refer to commit 60271ab044a5 ("PCI/AER: Take reference on error
devices") which introduced this reference counting mechanism.
It feels awkward to leak AER-specific details into pcie_do_recovery().
That function is supposed to implement the flow described in
Documentation/PCI/pci-error-recovery.rst in a platform-agnostic way
so that powerpc (EEH) and s390 could conceivably take advantage of it.
Can you find a way to avoid this, e.g. report errors after
pcie_do_recovery() has concluded?
I understand your concern about keeping pcie_do_recovery()
platform-agnostic. I explored the possibility of reporting errors after
recovery concludes, but unfortunately, this approach isn't feasible due
to the recovery sequence. The issue is that most drivers'
pci_error_handlers implement .slot_reset() which internally calls
pci_restore_state() to restore the device's configuration space and
state. This function also clears the device's AER status registers:
.slot_reset()
=> pci_restore_state()
=> pci_aer_clear_status()
Therefore, the only window to capture and report the original error
information is between link recovery (after reset_subordinates()) and
before .slot_reset() is called. Once .slot_reset() executes, the error
status is cleared and lost forever.
I'm also worried that errors are reported *during* recovery.
I imagine this looks confusing to a user. The logged messages
should make it clear that these are errors that occurred *earlier*
and are reported belatedly.
You raise an excellent point about potential user confusion. The current
aer_print_error() interface doesn't indicate that these are historical
errors being reported belatedly. Would it be acceptable to add a
clarifying message before calling aer_print_error()? For example:
pci_err(dev, "Reporting error that occurred before recovery:\n");
Alternatively, if you have suggestions for a better approach to make
this timing clear to users, I'd be happy to implement them.
Thanks,
Lukas
Thanks for valuable comments.
