Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: PCI: pci-error-recovery: rearrange the general sequence

Reset_link() callback function was called before mmio_enabled() in
pcie_do_recovery() function actually, so rearrange the general
sequence betwen step 2 and step 3 accordingly.

I don't think this is true in all cases. If pcie_do_recovery() is
called with state==pci_channel_io_normal (i.e. non-fatal AER) the link
won't be reset. EEH (ppc PCI error recovery thing) also uses
.mmio_enabled() as described.

Yes, in case of non-fatal AER, reset_link() callback (aer_root_reset() for
AER and dpc_reset_link() for DPC) will not be invoked. And if
.error_detected() return PCI_ERS_RESULT_CAN_RECOVER, .mmio_enabled() be
called followed.

But if pcie_do_recovery() is called with state == pci_channel_io_frozen,
reset_link() callback is called after .error_detected() but before
.mmio_enabled(). So I thought Step 2: MMIO Enabled and Step 3: Link Reset
should rearrange their sequence.

Please make the subject a little more specific. "rearrange the
general sequence" doesn't say anything about what was affected.

s/betwen/between/

Not sure "general" adds anything in this sentence. "Step 2 and step
3" are not meaningful here in the commit log. It needs to spell out
what those steps are so the log makes sense by itself.

"reset_link" does not appear in pcie_do_recovery(). I'm guessing
you're referring to the "reset_subordinates" function pointer?

I didn't quite understand your response to Oliver, so I'll wait for
your corrections and his ack before proceeding.

Yes, you are right.
pcieaer-howto.rst has a section named with "Provide callbacks",
the callback supplied to pcie_do_recovery() was referred to
reset_link.

OK.
I thought step 2 MMIO Enabled and step 3 link reset should swap sequence.
