2018-07-19PCI/AER: Add sysfs attributes to provide AER stats and breakdownRajat Jain
Add sysfs attributes to provide total and breakdown of the AERs seen, into different type of correctable, fatal and nonfatal errors: /sys/bus/pci/devices/<dev>/aer_dev_correctable /sys/bus/pci/devices/<dev>/aer_dev_fatal /sys/bus/pci/devices/<dev>/aer_dev_nonfatal Signed-off-by: Rajat Jain <rajatja@google.com> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com>

2016-09-14PCI/AER: Remove aerdriver.forceload kernel parameterBjorn Helgaas
Per the PCI Firmware spec, r3.0, sec 4.5.1, on ACPI systems, the OS must not use AER unless _OSC is present and _OSC grants AER control to the OS. The aerdriver.forceload kernel parameter was a way to enable Linux AER support on ACPI systems that lack _OSC or fail to grant control the the OS. Enabling Linux AER support when the firmware doesn't want us to is a recipe for problems, e.g., the firmware might be handling AER itself. Remove the aerdriver.forceload kernel parameter and related supporting code. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com>
2016-09-14PCI/AER: Remove aerdriver.nosourceid kernel parameterBjorn Helgaas
The aerdriver.nosourceid kernel parameter was intended for working around broken chipsets don't supply the source ID for AER events. We recently added PCI_BUS_FLAGS_NO_AERSID, which can be set by quirks for the same purpose. Remove the aerdriver.nosourceid kernel parameter. For anything other than debugging, asking users to find and use kernel parameters is a poor user experience. Instead, we should add PCI_BUS_FLAGS_NO_AERSID quirks for any hardware that needs it.

2010-05-11PCI: aerdrv: introduce default_downstream_reset_linkHidetoshi Seto
I noticed that when I inject a fatal error to an endpoint via aer-inject, aer_root_reset() is called as reset_link for a downstream port at upstream of the endpoint: pcieport 0000:00:06.0: AER: Uncorrected (Fatal) error received: id=5401 : pcieport 0000:52:02.0: Root Port link has been reset It externally appears to be working, but internally issues some accesses to PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND/STATUS registers that is for root port so not available on downstream port. This patch introduces default_downstream_reset_link that is a version of aer_root_reset() with no accesses to root port's register. It is used for downstream ports that has no reset_link function its specific. This patch also updates related description in pcieaer-howto.txt. Some minor fixes are included.

2009-06-16PCI AER: software error injectionHuang Ying
Debugging PCIE AER code can be very difficult because it is hard to trigger various real hardware errors. This patch provide a software based error injection tool, which can fake various PCIE errors with a user space helper tool named "aer-inject". Which can be gotten from: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/yhuang/ The patch fakes AER error by faking some PCIE AER related registers and an AER interrupt for specified the PCIE device.

The 'use pci_find_ext_capability everywhere' cleanup brought a new bug, which makes the AER stop working. Fix it by actually using find_ext_cap instead of just find_cap.
