As I have informed you before on my previous reply, the pdev->slot is
only valid for children objects such as endpoints not for a bridge when
using pciehp.

The pointer is NULL for the host bridge itself.

I reached out to reset_slot() callback in v4 of this implementation.

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10494971/

However, as Oza explained FATAL error handling gets called from two different
paths as AER and DPC.

If the link goes down due to DPC, calling pci_reset_slot() would be a mistake
as DPC has its own recovery mechanism by programming the DPC capabilities.
pci_reset_slot() performs a secondary bus reset following hotplug interrupt
mask.

Issuing a secondary bus reset to a DPC event would be a mistake for recovery.

That's why, I extracted the hotplug mask and unmask IRQ calls into service
layer so that I can mask hotplug interrupts regardless of the source of the
FATAL error whether it is DPC or AER.

If error source is DPC, it still goes to DPC driver's reset_link() callback
for DPC specific clean up.

If error source is AER, it still goes to AER driver's reset_link() callback
for secondary bus reset.

Remember that AER driver completely bypasses pci_reset_slot() today. The lock
mechanism you are putting will not be useful for FATAL error case where
pci_secondary_bus_reset() is called directly.

pci_reset_slot() only gets called from external drivers such as VFIO to initiate
a reset to the slot if hotplug is supported.
