Subject: [PATCH v2] PCI/AER: Do not clear AER bits if we don't own AER
Date:   Mon, 23 Jul 2018 11:52:33 -0500
Message-Id: <20180723165251.11424-1-mr.nuke.me@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <20180717153135.25925-1-mr.nuke.me@gmail.com>
References: <20180717153135.25925-1-mr.nuke.me@gmail.com>

Precedence: bulk

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().
