OK. So I've read the internal bug, and I'm going to do my best to summarise
without including confidential info.
1) A PHB with 2 devices is fenced via error injection.
2) The error_detected() callback is run on both devices. One returns
CAN_RECOVER, the other returns NONE.
We then fall through to partial-hotplug handling. (BTW this isn't
documented in Documentation/PCI/pci-error-recovery.txt, so at some point
this should be fixed!)
Partial hotplug is detected by the presence of an err_handler, not by
storing the result of error_detected. Would it be better to store the
result from eeh_report_error in the eeh_dev structure, rather than by
looking at more elements of the err_handler structure?
More generally, drivers using error_detect and then returning NONE as a
way to get data and then not participate in EEH is a hack, and it's not
surprising it's breaking in odd ways, especially with partial hotplug.
Partial hotplug is pretty hacky to begin with, and a driver being able
to opt out of EEH selectively is a useful feature, so we probably want
to redesign the state machine to handle them both better. That would be
a long term project.

Daniel
