Right, "extended" is meant here, but I will drop it to also fit with
the 'CXL RAS capability'.

Let's assume just a simple CXL RCH topology:
PCI hierarchy:
-----------------
| ACPI0016 |---------------- Host bridge (CXL host)
| - CEDT | |
-------------| - RCRB base | |
| ----------------- :
| |
| |
| ------------------- ---------
| | RCiEP |.....| RCEC | Endpoint (CXL dev)
| --------| - BDF | | - BDF |
| | | - PCIe AER | ---------
| | | - CXL dvsec |
| | | (v2: reg loc) |
| | | - Comp regs |
| | | - CXL RAS |
| | -------------------
: :
CXL hierarchy:
: :
: ------------------ |
| | CXL root port |<--------------
| | |
|----------->| - dport RCRB |<--------------
| | - PCIe AER | |
| | - Comp regs | |
| | - CXL RAS | |
| ------------------ |
| : |
| | ------------------ |
| ------->| CXL endpoint |---------------
| | (v1: RCRB) |
------------>| - uport RCRB |
| - Comp regs |
| - CXL RAS |
------------------
Dport detected errors are reported using PCIe AER and CXL RAS caps in
the dports RCRB.
Uport detected errors are reported using RCiEP's PCIe AER cap and
either the uport's RCRB RAS cap or the RAS cap of the comp regs
located using CXL DVSEC register locator.
In all cases the RCEC is used with either the RCEC (dport errors) or
the RCiEP (uport errors) error source id (BDF: bus, dev, func).

For reference, this series adds support to handle RCH downstream
port-detected errors as described in CXL 3.0, 12.2.1.1.
This flow looks correct to me, see comments inline.

e_src is the RCEC.

It is an internal error (CIE or UIE).

An early version of the spec did not require the RCEC as an error
source. But this case is not handled with this series.

handle_error_source() is called with the RCEC as pci_dev.

An internal error of the RCEC indicates a CXL dport error.

The CXL device contains the links to the dport's caps. Also, there can
be multiple RCs with CXL devs connected to it. So we must search for
all CXL devices now, determine the corresponding dport and inspect
both, PCIe AER and CXL RAS caps.

The AER driver (portdrv) does not have the knowledge of CXL internals.
Thus the approach is to pass dport errors to the cxl_mem driver to
handle it there in addition to cxl mem dev errors.

The CXL module knows how and where to look for errors, but it does not
receive interrupts (for dport errors). The interrupts land in the
portdrv (the RCEC's pci driver) and the CXL module must be notified by
the portdrv. But the portdrv (AER driver) does not know the CXL module
nor it is always present (e.g. CXL bus must be enumerated first etc.).
aer_recover_queue() is interesting to report AER errors that has been
retrieved outside the PCIe hierarchy, in particular the dport AER cap
in the RCRB (see patch #4). We could collect all the data and just
send it to aer_recover_queue(). I think aer_recover_work_func() must
be extended to also handle corrected errors, otherwise the function is
already almost the same as handle_error_source().
But first, RCEC error notifications (RCEC AER interrupts) must be sent
to the CXL driver to look into the dport's RCRB.
