# ============================== PCIe AER Quiet ================================================
# ==============================================================================================
#
# PURPOSE
# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# Removes listed PCIe devices from the bus at array start so dead hardware stops
# flooding syslog with correctable AER errors. Run once via ARRAY_START_SCRIPTS.
# Idempotent — silent when the devices are already absent.
#
# Some onboard controllers throw endless correctable PCIe errors. Correctable
# means the link recovered and nothing was lost, but the kernel logs every one,
# and on HOST1 that was ~180 lines/day drowning the syslog. Masking the error in
# the device's AER registers hides it; `pci=noaer` silences the whole machine
# and costs uncorrectable reporting on every device. Removing the device ends it
# at the source and leaves AER fully intact everywhere else.
#
# This only makes sense for hardware nothing is using. The guards below refuse
# anything else — see OPERATIONAL SAFEGUARDS.
#
# A reboot re-enumerates the devices, which is why this reapplies every array
# start rather than being a one-time step. It is also the undo: clear the conf
# list and reboot.
#
# ==============================================================================================
# DESIGN PRINCIPLES
# ==============================================================================================
#
# Refuse Anything In Use
# A PCI address is one typo away from the HBA holding the array. The script
# removes a device only when the kernel shows it bound to vfio-pci or to no
# driver at all. A device with a real driver is skipped loudly, never removed.
#
# Address Shape Validated Before Any Write
# The address goes into a sysfs path. It is matched against the full
# DDDD:BB:DD.F form before being used to build one.
#
# Idempotent Presence Check
# A device already gone is not an error — it is the desired state. Silent skip.
#
# Apply Sequence (per device)
# 1. Validate the address shape
# 2. Absent from sysfs → already done, skip silently
# 3. Bound to a driver other than vfio-pci → refuse, warn, continue
# 4. Claimed by a running VM → refuse, warn, continue
# 5. Write 1 to the device's sysfs remove node
# 6. Verify it left the bus
#
# ==============================================================================================
# OPERATIONAL SAFEGUARDS
# ==============================================================================================
#
# Root Required
# Writing to /sys/bus/pci/devices requires root.
#
# Driver Guard
# Only vfio-pci-bound or unbound devices are eligible. This is what stops a
# mistyped address from pulling the SAS controller, a NIC or an NVMe drive out
# from under a running system.
#
# Running VM Guard
# A vfio-pci device may be passed through to a live VM. Removing it would rip
# the device away mid-flight. Running domains are checked for the address.
#
# Single Instance Lock
# acquire_lock prevents concurrent runs at array start.
#
# Disabled By Default
# PCIE_QUIET_ENABLED is false and the device list is empty until an operator
# fills it in per host. An empty list exits silently, so a host that has no
# such hardware runs a no-op.
#
# Silent on Success
# Runs every boot — no noise when the devices are already gone.
#
# ==============================================================================================
# CONFIGURATION
# ==============================================================================================
#
# master.conf
#
# PCIE_QUIET_ENABLED
# Master gate. Nothing is removed while false. (default: false)
#
# host*.conf
#
# HOST*_PCIE_QUIET_DEVICES
# PCI addresses to remove, full DDDD:BB:DD.F form. (default: empty)
# Aliased to PCIE_QUIET_DEVICES by detect_hosts.
#
# HOST1 example — both are onboard, stubbed to vfio, used by nothing:
# "0000:03:00.0" ASMedia ASM1143 USB 3.1 controller
# "0000:04:00.0" Intel Wireless 8265
#
# ==============================================================================================
# RUNTIME MODES
# ==============================================================================================
#
# pcie_aer_quiet.sh
# Remove every eligible listed device. Silent if all are already absent.
#
# pcie_aer_quiet.sh --dry-run
# Show what would be removed, refused or skipped. No sysfs write.
#
# pcie_aer_quiet.sh --status
# Show each listed device, its driver, and whether it is present.
#
# pcie_aer_quiet.sh --log
# Verbose output showing each guard decision.
