Thanks for catching this; it definitely looks like a real issue!  I
guess you're probably seeing junk in the sysfs files?

It would be helpful to reviewers if this said *why* we need to iterate
over the counters instead of the names.  I think the problem is that
the current code reads past the end of the stats counters.

There are parallel arrays here:

  #define AER_MAX_TYPEOF_COR_ERRS         16
  #define AER_MAX_TYPEOF_UNCOR_ERRS       27

  aer_correctable_error_string[32]                               # 32
  pdev->aer_stats->dev_cor_errs[AER_MAX_TYPEOF_COR_ERRS]         # 16
  aer_uncorrectable_error_string[32]                             # 32
  pdev->aer_stats->dev_fatal_errs[AER_MAX_TYPEOF_UNCOR_ERRS]     # 27
  pdev->aer_stats->dev_nonfatal_errs[AER_MAX_TYPEOF_UNCOR_ERRS]  # 27

And here's the current use of them:

  #define aer_stats_dev_attr(..., stats_array, strings_array, ...)
    for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(strings_array); i++) {
      if (strings_array[i])
	sysfs_emit_at(..., strings_array[i], stats[i]);          (1)
      else if (stats[i])
	sysfs_emit_at(..., stats[i]);                            (2)

  aer_stats_dev_attr(..., dev_cor_errs, aer_correctable_error_string,
  aer_stats_dev_attr(..., dev_fatal_errs, aer_uncorrectable_error_string,
  aer_stats_dev_attr(..., dev_nonfatal_errs, aer_uncorrectable_error_string,

The current loop iterates over 0..31, which is safe at (1) because the
non-NULL strings are at aer_correctable_error_string[0..15] and
aer_uncorrectable_error_string[0..26].

But it is unsafe at (2) because it references dev_cor_errs[16..31],
dev_fatal_errs[27..31], and dev_nonfatal_errs[27..31], which are past
the end of the arrays.

Yep, I blew it there.  Rajat did it correctly when he added this with
81aa5206f9a7 ("PCI/AER: Add sysfs attributes to provide AER stats and
breakdown"), and I broke it by extending the string arrays to 32
entries.

I think maybe we should populate the currently NULL entries in the
string[] arrays and simplify the code here, e.g.,

  static const char *aer_correctable_error_string[] = {
        "RxErr",                        /* Bit Position 0       */
        "dev_cor_errs_bit[1]",
	...

  if (stats[i])
    len += sysfs_emit_at(buf, len, "%s %llu\n", strings_array[i], stats[i]);

It's a little more data space, but easier to verify.

And make these check for "!=" instead of "<".
