Here are two different flow for two different FATAL error sources

dpc_irq
	link is down due to DPC
	pcie_do_fatal_recovery()
		pci_reset_slot()
			mask hotplug IRQ
			secondary bus reset
			unmask hotplug IRQ
			undefined behavior as link went down due to DPC
		dpc_reset_link()
			undefined behavior secondary bus reset happened
					   while a DPC event is pending
			link may or may not be up at this moment
			recover the link via DPC way if HW can cope with this undefined behavior.


aer_irq
	link is up
	pcie_do_fatal_recovery()
		pci_reset_slot()
			mask hotplug IRQ
			secondary bus reset
			unmask hotplug IRQ
			link goes up
		aer_reset_link()
			secondary bus reset
			hotplug link down interrupt again

I tried to change pci_reset_slot() such that we do

mask hotplug IRQ
go to AER/DPC reset_link based on error source
unmask hotplug IRQ
