According to PCIe Base Specification Revision 6.1, Sections 6.2.3.4 and 6.2.4.3, certain uncorrectable errors will signal ERR_COR instead of ERR_NONFATAL, logged as Advisory Non-Fatal Error, and set bits in both Correctable Error Status register and Uncorrectable Error Status register. Currently, when handling AER events the kernel will only look at CE status or UE status, but never both. In the Advisory Non-Fatal Error case, bits set in the UE status register will not be reported and cleared until the next Fatal/Non-Fatal error arrives.
For instance, previously, when the kernel receives an ANFE with Poisoned TLP in OS native AER mode, only the status of CE will be reported and cleared: AER: Corrected error received: 0000:b7:02.0 PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Transaction Layer, (Receiver ID) device [8086:0db0] error status/mask=00002000/00000000 [13] NonFatalErr If the kernel receives a Malformed TLP after that, two UE will be reported, which is unexpected. The Malformed TLP Header was lost since the previous ANFE gated the TLP header logs: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Uncorrected (Fatal), type=Transaction Layer, (Receiver ID) device [8086:0db0] error status/mask=00041000/00180020 [12] TLP (First) [18] MalfTLP To handle this case properly, add additional fields in aer_err_info to track both CE and UE status/mask, UE severity, and Device Status. Use this information to determine the status bits that need to be cleared. Now, in the previous scenario, both CE status and related UE status will be reported and cleared after ANFE: AER: Corrected error received: 0000:b7:02.0 PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Transaction Layer, (Receiver ID) device [8086:0db0] error status/mask=00002000/00000000 [13] NonFatalErr Uncorrectable errors that may cause Advisory Non-Fatal: [18] TLP Additionally, add more data to aer_event tracepoint, which would help to better understand ANFE and other errors for external observation. Note: checkpatch.pl will produce following errors and warnings on PATCH 4: ERROR: space prohibited after that open parenthesis '(' #103: FILE: include/ras/ras_event.h:319: + __field( u16, link_status ) ...similar errors omitted... WARNING: quoted string split across lines #126: FILE: include/ras/ras_event.h:342: + TP_printk("%s PCIe Bus Error: severity=%s, %s, TLP Header=%s, " + "Correctable Error Status=0x%08x, " ...similar warnings omitted... For readability reasons, these errors and warnings are not fixed, following the code style of existing examples in the kernel source tree.
