Subject: [PATCH v3] PCI/AER: Do not clear AER bits if we don't own AER
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2018 18:35:31 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180730233547.1238-1-mr.nuke.me@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <3d05f662-2c29-90cd-9c74-6456939a0e6b@gmail.com>

When we don't own AER, we shouldn't touch the AER error bits. Clearing
error bits willy-nilly might cause firmware to miss some errors. In
theory, these bits get cleared by FFS, or via ACPI _HPX method. These
mechanisms are not subject to the problem.

This race is mostly of theoretical significance, since I can't
reasonably demonstrate this race in the lab.

On a side-note, pcie_aer_is_kernel_first() is created to alleviate the
need for two checks: aer_cap and get_firmware_first().
