PCI-Express AER implemetation: AER core and aerdriver Patch 3 implements the core part of PCI-Express AER and aerdrv port service driver. When a root port service device is probed, the aerdrv will call request_irq to register irq handler for AER error interrupt. When a device sends an PCI-Express error message to the root port, the root port will trigger an interrupt, by either MSI or IO-APIC, then kernel would run the irq handler. The handler collects root error status register and schedules a work. The work will call the core part to process the error based on its type (Correctable/non-fatal/fatal). As for Correctable errors, the patch chooses to just clear the correctable error status register of the device. As for the non-fatal error, the patch follows generic PCI error handler rules to call the error callback functions of the endpoint's driver. If the device is a bridge, the patch chooses to broadcast the error to downstream devices. As for the fatal error, the patch resets the pci-express link and follows generic PCI error handler rules to call the error callback functions of the endpoint's driver. If the device is a bridge, the patch chooses to broadcast the error to downstream devices.
