For PCIe device support AER(Advanced Error Reporting), from the pcie spec 3.0 chapter 6.2.5, ERR_COR, ERR_NONFATAL, and ERR_FATAL can be forwarded from the secondary interface to the primary interface, only require the SERR# Enable bit in the Bridge Control register is set.
and at the kernel side, we found only _HPP() method can enable SERR#, So here we want to turn on this bit.

I'm not that familiar with all the details of the PCI specification. Can you elaborate on what doesn't work if this patch is not present, or what does work or work better when present? Is this associated with a QEMU feature or change?
With this patch, the aer error inject feature for pcie device in QEMU will work . the hmp command line is called pcie_aer_inject_error. a endpoint device propagates error messages to guest that need the parent bridge type devices enable the SERR# in bridge control reigster from pcie spec 3.0 chapter 6.2.5, and currently, the register bit is not turned on, so the command pcie_aer_inject_error is not work. and if the patch is ok, could you check in this patch?
Patch looks fine to me. Certain PCI switches, like PEX87xx, provide mechanism to explicitly inject errors (unlike aer_inject tool where just interrupt is raised). However, if SERR bit is not enabled in the bridges, error is not percolated to root port, probably because kernel expects BIOS to enable this bit. CC'ing Bjorn who can correct if this incorrect understanding.
I think your understanding of PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_SERR is correct. Linux doesn't really have formal expectations about how platforms should set PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_SERR. It's possible that Linux should be more proactive about enabling it. I think it's just an area that nobody has paid much attention to.
Hi Kevin,
How do you think of this patch?
Thanks, Chen
