2009-06-16PCI AER: software error injectionHuang Ying
Debugging PCIE AER code can be very difficult because it is hard to trigger various real hardware errors. This patch provide a software based error injection tool, which can fake various PCIE errors with a user space helper tool named "aer-inject". Which can be gotten from: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/yhuang/ The patch fakes AER error by faking some PCIE AER related registers and an AER interrupt for specified the PCIE device.

2009-06-16PCI AER: support invalid error source IDsZhang, Yanmin
When the bus id part of error source id is equal to 0 or nosourceid=1, make the kernel probe the AER status registers of all devices under the root port to find the initial error reporter.

2009-03-20PCI MSI: Add support for multiple MSIMatthew Wilcox
Add the new API pci_enable_msi_block() to allow drivers to request multiple MSI and reimplement pci_enable_msi in terms of pci_enable_msi_block. Ensure that the architecture back ends don't have to know about multiple MSI. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>

2009-01-07PCI: Add pci_clear_master() as opposite of pci_set_master()Ben Hutchings
During an online device reset it may be useful to disable bus-mastering. pci_disable_device() does that, and far more besides, so is not suitable for an online reset. Add pci_clear_master() which does just this.

2008-10-20PCI: fix AER capability checkYu Zhao
The 'use pci_find_ext_capability everywhere' cleanup brought a new bug, which makes the AER stop working. Fix it by actually using find_ext_cap instead of just find_cap.

2008-10-20PCI: Check dynids driver_data value for validityJean Delvare
Only accept dynids whose driver_data value matches one of the driver's pci_driver_id entries. This prevents the user from accidentally passing values the drivers do not expect.
