I will update subject and description.

Richt, this is implemented in patch #5 in function
rcec_enable_aer_ints().

Do you mean once a Restricted CXL host (RCH) is detected, the internal
errors should be enabled in the device mask, all this done during
device enumeration? But wouldn't interrupts being enabled then before
the CXL device is ready?

Sure, will add a comment.

This dev is the endpoint's device handle.

This is the RCEC's device handle. Note that downstream port errors
have the RCEC's error source id (the RCEC’s Bus, Device, and Function
Numbers, see CXL 3.0, 12.2.1.1). We pass this error to the CXL
endpoint's driver (RCD, the RCiEP) now. The iterator goes through all
endpoints connected to the RCEC.

For the endpoint we further call here now:

                  pcie_walk_rcec(dev, handle_cxl_error_iter, info)
                    handle_cxl_error_iter(endpoint_dev)
		      pci_dev_get(endpoint_dev)
                      handle_error_source(endpoint_dev)
                        pci_dev_put(endpoint_dev)

Yes, exacly.

The dport and uport are not enumerated, there are two RCRB ranges for
them. But errors are reported using the PCI hierarchy, using the RCEC
and the RCiEP. Once an internal error arrives with the RCEC as an
error source, the AER err cap in the RCRB must be checked.

Actually, we use this code to handle errors that are reported to the
RCEC and only implement here the CXL specifics. That is, checking if
the RCEC receives something from a CXL downstream port and forwarding
that to a CXL handler (this patch). The handler then checks the AER
err cap in the RCRB of all CXL downstream ports associated to the RCEC
(not visible in the PCI hierarchy), but discovered through the :00.0
RCiEP (patch #5).

The check is more for the (theoretical) case where we cannot increment
the refcount.

Per CXL specification downstream port errors are signaled using
internal errors. All other errors would be device specific, we cannot
handle that in a generic CXL driver. Note these are only errors
reported to the RCEC with the RCEC as a source, the RCiEP's errors are
handled using standard reporting already, see aer_isr_one_error() and
further calling pdrv->err_handler->cor_error_detected() or
pdrv->err_handler->error_detected().
