PCIe ERR_NONFATAL errors mean a particular transaction is unreliable but the Link is otherwise fully functional (PCIe r4.0, sec 6.2.2). The AER driver handles these by logging the error details and calling driver-supplied pci_error_handlers callbacks. It does not reset downstream devices, does not remove them from the PCI subsystem, does not re-enumerate them, and does not call their driver .remove() or .probe() methods. But DPC driver previously enabled DPC on ERR_NONFATAL, so if the hardware supports DPC, these errors caused a Link reset (performed automatically by the hardware), followed by the DPC driver removing affected devices (which calls their .remove() methods), bringing the Link back up, and re-enumerating (which calls driver .probe() methods). Disable ERR_NONFATAL DPC triggering so these errors will only be handled by AER. This means drivers won't have to deal with different usage of their pci_error_handlers callbacks and .probe() and .remove() methods based on whether the platform has DPC support.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
