To prevent spammy devices from flooding +the console/stalling execution, messages are throttled by device and error +type (correctable vs. non-fatal uncorrectable). Fatal errors, including +DPC errors, are not ratelimited. + +AER uses the default ratelimit of DEFAULT_RATELIMIT_BURST (10 events) over +DEFAULT_RATELIMIT_INTERVAL (5 seconds). + +Ratelimits are exposed in the form of sysfs attributes and configurable. +See Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-pci-devices-aer. + AER Statistics / Counters ------------------------- When PCIe AER errors are captured, the counters / statistics are also exposed in the form of sysfs attributes which are documented at -Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-pci-devices-aer_stats +Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-pci-devices-aer.
