If an Endpoint reported an error with ERR_FATAL, we previously ran driver error recovery callbacks only for the Endpoint's driver. But if we reset a Link to recover from the error, all downstream components are affected, including the Endpoint, any multi-function peers, and children of those peers. Initiate the Link reset from the deepest Downstream Port that is reliable, and call the error recovery callbacks for all its children. If a Downstream Port (including a Root Port) reports an error, we assume the Port itself is reliable and we need to reset its downstream Link. In all other cases (Switch Upstream Ports, Endpoints, Bridges, etc), we assume the Link leading to the component needs to be reset, so we initiate the reset at the parent Downstream Port. This allows two other clean-ups. First, we currently only use a Link reset, which can only be initiated using a Downstream Port, so we can remove checks for Endpoints. Second, the Downstream Port where we initiate the Link reset is reliable (unlike components downstream from it), so the special cases for error detect and resume are no longer necessary.

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.
