* PCI AER: software error injectionHuang Ying2009-06-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Debugging PCIE AER code can be very difficult because it is hard to trigger various real hardware errors. This patch provide a software based error injection tool, which can fake various PCIE errors with a user space helper tool named "aer-inject". Which can be gotten from: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/yhuang/ The patch fakes AER error by faking some PCIE AER related registers and an AER interrupt for specified the PCIE device.

* PCI AER: support invalid error source IDsZhang, Yanmin2009-06-161-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | When the bus id part of error source id is equal to 0 or nosourceid=1, make the kernel probe the AER status registers of all devices under the root port to find the initial error reporter.

* PCI: fix AER capability checkYu Zhao2008-10-201-8/+3
| | | | | | | | | | The 'use pci_find_ext_capability everywhere' cleanup brought a new bug, which makes the AER stop working. Fix it by actually using find_ext_cap instead of just find_cap. Drop the unused config space size define while we're at it. Signed-off-by: Yu Zhao <yu.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>
* PCI: doc/pci: create Documentation/PCI/ and move files into itRandy Dunlap2008-04-211-0/+253
Create Documentation/PCI/ and move PCI-related files to it. Fix a few instances of trailing whitespace. Update references to the new file locations. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Cc: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
