After recovering from a PCI error through reset, affected devices are in D0_uninitialized state and need to be brought into D0_active state by re-initializing their Config Space registers (PCIe r7.0 sec 5.3.1.1). To facilitate that, the PCI core provides pci_restore_state() and pci_save_state() helpers. Document rules governing their usage. As Bjorn notes, so far no file in "Documentation/ includes anything about the idea of a driver using pci_save_state() to capture the state it wants to restore after an error", even though it is a common pattern in drivers. So that's obviously a gap that should be closed.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
