Currently the aer_irq() handler returns IRQ_NONE for cases without bits
PCI_ERR_ROOT_UNCOR_RCV or PCI_ERR_ROOT_COR_RCV are set. But this
assumption is incorrect.

Consider a scenario where aer_irq() is triggered for a correctable
error, and while we process the error and before we clear the error
status in "Root Error Status" register, if the same kind of error
is triggered again, since aer_irq() only clears events it saw, the
multi-bit error is left in tact. This will cause the interrupt to fire
again, resulting in entering aer_irq() with just the multi-bit error
logged in the "Root Error Status" register.

Repeated AER recovery test has revealed this condition does happen
and this prevents any new interrupt from being triggered. Allow to
process interrupt even if only multi-correctable (BIT 1) or
multi-uncorrectable bit (BIT 3) is set.

Also note that, for cases with only multi-bit error is set, since this
is not the first occurrence of the error, PCI_ERR_ROOT_ERR_SRC may have
zero or some junk value. So we cannot cleanly process this error
information using aer_isr_one_error(). All we are attempting with this
fix is to make sure error interrupt processing can continue in this
scenario.

This error can be reproduced by making following changes to the
aer_irq() function and by executing the given test commands.

  static irqreturn_t aer_irq(int irq, void *context)
          struct aer_err_source e_src = {};

          pci_read_config_dword(rp, aer + PCI_ERR_ROOT_STATUS,
				&e_src.status);
  +       pci_dbg(pdev->port, "Root Error Status: %04x\n",
  +		e_src.status);
          if (!(e_src.status & AER_ERR_STATUS_MASK))
Do you mean

   if (!(e_src.status & (PCI_ERR_ROOT_UNCOR_RCV|PCI_ERR_ROOT_COR_RCV)))

here?  AER_ERR_STATUS_MASK would be after this fix.
Yes. You are correct. Do you want me to update it and Fixes tag
and send next version?
I moved the repro details to a bugzilla, updated the commit log as
below, and applied to pci/error for v5.19, thanks!


commit 203926da2bff ("PCI/AER: Clear MULTI_ERR_COR/UNCOR_RCV bits")
Author: Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan [off-list ref]
Date:   Mon Apr 18 15:02:37 2022 +0000

    PCI/AER: Clear MULTI_ERR_COR/UNCOR_RCV bits
    
    When a Root Port or Root Complex Event Collector receives an error Message
    e.g., ERR_COR, it sets PCI_ERR_ROOT_COR_RCV in the Root Error Status
    register and logs the Requester ID in the Error Source Identification
    register.  If it receives a second ERR_COR Message before software clears
    PCI_ERR_ROOT_COR_RCV, hardware sets PCI_ERR_ROOT_MULTI_COR_RCV and the
    Requester ID is lost.
    
    In the following scenario, PCI_ERR_ROOT_MULTI_COR_RCV was never cleared:
    
      - hardware receives ERR_COR message
      - hardware sets PCI_ERR_ROOT_COR_RCV
      - aer_irq() entered
      - aer_irq(): status = pci_read_config_dword(PCI_ERR_ROOT_STATUS)
      - aer_irq(): now status == PCI_ERR_ROOT_COR_RCV
      - hardware receives second ERR_COR message
      - hardware sets PCI_ERR_ROOT_MULTI_COR_RCV
      - aer_irq(): pci_write_config_dword(PCI_ERR_ROOT_STATUS, status)
      - PCI_ERR_ROOT_COR_RCV is cleared; PCI_ERR_ROOT_MULTI_COR_RCV is set
      - aer_irq() entered again
      - aer_irq(): status = pci_read_config_dword(PCI_ERR_ROOT_STATUS)
      - aer_irq(): now status == PCI_ERR_ROOT_MULTI_COR_RCV
      - aer_irq() exits because PCI_ERR_ROOT_COR_RCV not set
      - PCI_ERR_ROOT_MULTI_COR_RCV is still set
    
    The same problem occurred with ERR_NONFATAL/ERR_FATAL Messages and
    PCI_ERR_ROOT_UNCOR_RCV and PCI_ERR_ROOT_MULTI_UNCOR_RCV.
    
    Fix the problem by queueing an AER event and clearing the Root Error Status
    bits when any of these bits are set:
    
      PCI_ERR_ROOT_COR_RCV
      PCI_ERR_ROOT_UNCOR_RCV
      PCI_ERR_ROOT_MULTI_COR_RCV
      PCI_ERR_ROOT_MULTI_UNCOR_RCV
    
    See the bugzilla link for details from Eric about how to reproduce this
    problem.
