[PATCH v19 10/14] cxl: Update CXL Endpoint AER handler

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Rename cxl_error_detected() to cxl_pci_error_detected() and rename
the struct pci_error_handlers instance to cxl_pci_error_handlers to
avoid shadowing the struct type tag.

Document the unconditional CXL RAS read policy: on a dead link,
readl() returns 0xFFFFFFFF which is interpreted as UCE bits set and
triggers a panic. If RAS registers are not mapped the read is
skipped and the frozen/perm_failure switch cases defer to AER
recovery for devices without active CXL.mem traffic.

Changes in v18->v19:
- Add review-by for DaveJ and Jonathan
- Remove reindent introduced in v18 at cxl_error_handlers definition.

Changes in v17->v18:
- Fix cxl_pci_error_detected() to use find_cxl_port_by_uport() and port->uport_dev
- Read CXL RAS unconditionally; panic on UCE regardless of channel state
- Document unconditional read policy and 0xFFFFFFFF behavior in comment
- Drop guard removal paragraph from commit message (not in this diff)
- Drop Reviewed-by tags pending re-review after message change

Changes in v16->v17:
- Rename pci_error_handlers struct instance to cxl_pci_error_handlers to
  avoid shadowing the struct type tag.
- Restore scoped_guard(device) and dev->driver check around AER read.
- NULL-check find_cxl_port_by_dev() before deref of port->uport_dev.
- Updated commit message. (Terry)
- Add scope cleanup for port variable in cxl_pci_error_detected() (Terry)
- Drop cxl_uncor_aer_present(), rely on AER state

Changes in v15->v16:
- Update commit message (DaveJ)
- s/cxl_handle_aer()/cxl_uncor_aer_present()/g (Jonathan)
- cxl_uncor_aer_present(): Leave original result calculation based on
  if a UCE is present and the provided state (Terry)
- Add call to pci_print_aer(). AER fails to log because is upstream
  link (Terry)

Changes in v14->v15:
- Update commit message and title. Added Bjorn's ack.
- Move CE and UCE handling logic here

Changes in v13->v14:
- Add Dave Jiang's review-by
- Update commit message & headline (Bjorn)
- Refactor cxl_port_error_detected()/cxl_port_cor_error_detected() to
  one line (Jonathan)
- Remove cxl_walk_port() (Dan)
- Remove cxl_pci_drv_bound(). Check for 'is_cxl' parent port is
  sufficient (Dan)
- Remove device_lock_if()
- Combined CE and UCE here (Terry)

Changes in v12->v13:
- Move get_pci_cxl_host_dev() and cxl_handle_proto_error() to Dequeue
  patch (Terry)
- Remove EP case in cxl_get_ras_base(), not used. (Terry)
- Remove check for dport->dport_dev (Dave)
- Remove whitespace (Terry)

Changes in v11->v12:
- Add call to cxl_pci_drv_bound() in cxl_handle_proto_error() and
  pci_to_cxl_dev()
- Change cxl_error_detected() -> cxl_cor_error_detected()
- Remove NULL variable assignments
- Replace bus_find_device() with find_cxl_port_by_uport() for upstream
  port searches.

Changes in v10->v11:
- None
