lpfc_aer_cleanup_state() requires clearing both fatal and non-fatal
uncorrectable error status. But using pci_aer_clear_nonfatal_status()
will only clear non-fatal error status. To clear both fatal and
non-fatal error status, use pci_aer_clear_uncorrect_error_status().

I don't know what the point of lpfc_aer_cleanup_state() is.  AER
errors should be handled and cleared by the PCI core, not by
individual drivers.  Only lpfc, liquidio, and sky2 touch
PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS.

But lpfc_aer_cleanup_state() is visible in the
"lpfc_aer_state_cleanup" sysfs file, so removing it would break any
userspace that uses it.

If we can rely on the PCI core to clean up AER errors itself
(admittedly, that might be a big "if"), maybe lpfc_aer_cleanup_state()
could just become a no-op?

Any comment from the LPFC folks?

Ideally, I would rather not export pci_aer_clear_nonfatal_status() or
pci_aer_clear_uncorrect_error_status() outside the PCI core at all.

Resurrecting this old thread.  Zhuo, can you figure out where the PCI
core clears these errors, include that in the commit log, and propose
a patch that makes lpfc_aer_cleanup_state() a no-op, by removing the
pci_aer_clear_nonfatal_status() call completely?

Such a patch could be sent to the SCSI maintainers since it doesn't
involve the PCI core.

If it turns out that the PCI core *doesn't* clear these errors, we
should figure out *why* it doesn't and try to change the PCI core so
it does.

We have notified all users of the lpfc_aer_cleanup_state sysfs entry,
and Broadcom LPFC is okay to no-op.

Justin
