The notification from the controller to the function driver is used for propagating interrupts to function driver and should be in interrupt context. How it should be handled maybe left to the function driver. I don't prefer moving everything to blocking notifier. I'm wondering how other users for CORE_INIT didn't see this issue.

Do you > forsee any issue with blocking notifier? I think any interrupt to the EP should be delivered to the function driver in interrupt context, it could be function level reset interrupt, hot reset interrupt, link state interrupt etc., These are right now not supported but it will use the same notification mechanism to propagate interrupt from controller driver to function driver.

And the CORE_INIT of pci-epf-test driver is calling EPC functions that could potentially sleep. For LINK_UP, tegra driver is calling it from hard irq handler but the LINK_UP of pci-epf-test driver is queueing up the delayed work. In the qcom driver, LINK_UP is called from a threaded irq handler. In both cases I don't see any necessity to use the atomic notifier chain. I agree with you that the notification need to be passed from EPC to EPF asap, but I'm not sure if it really has to be atomic.

The use of atomic notifier causes sleeping in atomic context bug when the EPC core functions are used in the notifier chain. This is due to the use of epc->lock (mutex) in core functions protecting the concurrent use of EPC. So switch to blocking notifier for getting rid of the bug as it runs in non-atomic context and allows sleeping in notifier chain.
