PCI error recovery patch [was: Request for feedback]
Hi Vijay,
I no longer actively maintain the error recovery stack. However, your patch and explanation for it looks reasonable to me --- it was certainly never the intent that a non-capable driver report a successful recovery.
I'm guessing that the bug that you are fixing was introduced when the original pci error recovery code was integrated with AER (PCI-AER was standardized after the original error recovery system was created, and I did not really pay very much attention to AER at the time).
FWIW, I guess I could add a
but I'm not sure that really means much any more :-)

Hi Bjorn/Linas,
I got your names from the PCI/PCI-error-recovery maintainers list. I had posted the following request last week.
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.pci/18465Being a newbie, it would be extremely helpful to get your guidance on these changes, specifically on any side effects it has. I am also working on another set of patches to improve the PCI error recovery/containment capabilities of KVM. But if the above change cannot be made first, I may have to figure out alternate approach for the second set of patches.
Thanks
Vijay
