5 Conclusion

The PCI Express AER driver creates a generic infras-

tructure to support PCI Express AER. This infrastruc-
ture provides the Linux kernel with an ability to capture
PCI Express device errors and perform error recovery
where in a hierarchy an agent device reports. Last but
not least the system administrators could get formatted,
useful error information to debug device errors.
Linux kernel 2.6.19 has accepted the PCI Express AER
patches. Future work includes enabling PCI Express
AER for every PCI Express device by default, blocking
I/O when an error happens, and so on.
