I tend to agree with you Lukas.

on this line I already have follow up patches
although I am waiting for Bjorn to review some patch-series before that.
[PATCH v2 0/6] Fix issues and cleanup for ERR_FATAL and ERR_NONFATAL

It doesn't look to me a an entirely a race condition since its guarded 
by pci_lock_rescan_remove())
I observed that both hotplug and aer/dpc comes out of it in a quiet sane 
state.

My thinking is: Disabling hotplug interrupts during ERR_FATAL,
is something little away from natural course of link_down event 
handling, which is handled by pciehp more maturely.
so it would be just easy not to take any action e.g. removal and 
re-enumeration of devices from ERR_FATAL handling point of view.

I leave it to Bjorn.

follwing is the patch wich I am trying to set it right and under test.
so till now I am in an opinion to handle this by checking in err.c

                 dev->error_state = pci_channel_io_normal;

To add more detail on when this issue happens.

This problem is more visible on root ports with MSI-x capability or with 
multiple MSI interrupt numbers.

AFAIK, QDT root ports are single shared MSI interrupt only. Therefore, 
you won't see this issue.

As you can see in the code, rescan lock is held for the entire fatal 
error handling path.

I think it is more unnatural to fragment code flow and allow two drivers 
to do the same thing in parallel or create inter-driver dependency.

I got the idea from pci_reset_slot() function which is already masking 
hotplug interrupts when called by external entries during secondary bus 
reset. We just didn't handle the same for fatal error cases.
