[PATCH 2/3] Support for PCI Express reset type

[Linas Vepstas]

2009/7/30 Mike Mason <mmlnx at us.ibm.com>:
> This is the second of three patches that implement a bit field that PCI
> Express device drivers can use to indicate they need a fundamental reset
> during error recovery.
>
> By default, the EEH framework on powerpc does what's known as a "hot reset"
> during recovery of a PCI Express device.  We've found a case where the
> device needs a "fundamental reset" to recover properly.  The current PCI
> error recovery and EEH frameworks do not support this distinction.
>
> The attached patch updates the Documentation/PCI/pci-error-recovery.txt file
> with changes related to this new bit field, as well a few unrelated updates.
>
> These patches supersede the previously submitted patch that implemented a
> fundamental reset bit field.
> Please review and let me know of any concerns.
