I got the cold chills when I realized you called for a delay of 350ms. It's because 350ms is around the delay I've observed to be caused by FFS.
First run KASANed with the extra delay, so hopefully, I'll have more cement test results by EOB today.

If you need help triggering the race you can add a sleep/microsleep here:

aer_isr_one_error() between the find_source_device and process err device:

sbauer@sbauer-Z170X-UD5:~/nvme_code/upstream_jens/linux-block$ git diff drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv_core.c
 
                aer_print_port_info(p_device->port, e_info);
 
-               if (find_source_device(p_device->port, e_info))
+               if (find_source_device(p_device->port, e_info)) {
+                       msleep(350);
                        aer_process_err_devices(p_device, e_info);
+               }
        }
 }
