On large modular systems with a complex PCIe tree, the default kernel
AER recovery and DPC behavior could cause unexpected side effects.
Sometimes it would be nice to have the option to keep the system in an
unmodified state and be able to handle PCIe errors from userspace.
This series adds two new PCI kernel boot options:
pci=noaer_recovery - Disable AER error recovery while still logging
AER errors
pci=nodpc - Disable PCI Downstream Port Containment entirely
---
v1 -> v2:
- Patch 1: Move disable check from pcie_do_recovery() in err.c to
pci_aer_handle_error()/aer_recover_work_func() in aer.c for
proper AER-specific scoping. AER error status bits are now
preserved (not cleared) so userspace can inspect the error state
- Patch 2: Also skip DPC port service driver registration in
pcie_dpc_init() when disabled
- Rebase onto v7.2-rc2
