Hi Terry,


I don't understand why the recommended change will influence RCH RAS handling, would you mind giving more details?

My understanding is that above 'pcie_walk_rcec(dev, handles_cxl_error_iter, &handles_cxl)' is used for RCH case.

And the 'else' block is used for VH case, so just check if the cxl port is working on CXL mode in pcie_is_cxl_port() or adding an extra function to check it in the 'else' block. I think it will not change RCH AER & RAS handling, is it right? or do I miss other details?
