ok so you are suggesting to move pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status 
down which I can do.

And not to call aer_error_resume, because you think its clearing the 
status again.

following code: calls aer_error_resume.
pci_broadcast_error_message()
  /*
                  * If the error is reported by an end point, we think 
this
                  * error is related to the upstream link of the end 
point.
                  */
                 if (state == pci_channel_io_normal)
                         /*
                          * the error is non fatal so the bus is ok, just 
invoke
                          * the callback for the function that logged the 
error.
                          */
                         cb(dev, &result_data);
                 else
                         pci_walk_bus(dev->bus, cb, &result_data);


besides aer_error_resume does following things in addition to clearing 
PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS

/* Clean up Root device status */
	pcie_capability_read_word(dev, PCI_EXP_DEVSTA, &reg16);
	pcie_capability_write_word(dev, PCI_EXP_DEVSTA, reg16);

if (dev->error_state == pci_channel_io_normal)
		status &= ~mask; /* Clear corresponding nonfatal bits */
	else
		status &= mask; /* Clear corresponding fatal bits */
	pci_write_config_dword(dev, pos + PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS, status);


so we have to have conditional call
such as
if (dev->hdr_type != PCI_HEADER_TYPE_BRIDGE)
            error_resume


so the code might look like this..

do_recovery
    do_fatal_recovery
        reset_link
          driver->reset_link
            aer_root_reset
                pci_reset_bridge_secondary_bus              # <-- reset
            if (dev->hdr_type != PCI_HEADER_TYPE_BRIDGE)
            {
                aer_error_resume
                    pcie_capability_write_word(PCI_EXP_DEVSTA)        # 
<-- clear more
                    pci_write_config_dword(PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS)      # 
<--
            }
            pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status(dev);


does it make sense ?
