My workstation suffers from too much correctable AER reporting as well
(related to Intel's errata "RPL013: Incorrectly Formed PCIe Packets May
Generate Correctable Errors" and/or the motherboard design, I guess).

We should rate-limit correctable error reporting so it's not
overwhelming.

At the same time, I'm *also* interested in the cause of these errors,
in case there's a Linux defect or a hardware erratum that we can work
around.  Do you have a bug report with any more details, e.g., a dmesg
log and "sudo lspci -vv" output?

Hi Bjorn,

Sorry for the *very* late reply (somehow I didn't see the reply at all
before it was removed by my cron job, and now I just savaged it from
lore.kernel.org...)

The dmesg is like:

lspci output attached.

Intel has issued an errata "RPL013" saying:

"Under complex microarchitectural conditions, the PCIe controller may
transmit an incorrectly formed Transaction Layer Packet (TLP), which
will fail CRC checks. When this erratum occurs, the PCIe end point may
record correctable errors resulting in either a NAK or link recovery.
Intel® has not observed any functional impact due to this erratum."

But I'm really unsure if it describes my issue.

Do you think I have some broken hardware and I should replace the CPU
and/or the motherboard (where the r8169 is soldered)?  I've noticed that
my 13900K is almost impossible to overclock (despite it's a K), but I've
not encountered any issue other than these AER reporting so far after I
gave up overclocking.
