Abstract:
A packet is identified at a port of a serial data link, and it is determined that the packet is associated with an error. Entry into an error recovery mode is initiated based on the determination that the packet is associated with the error. Entry into the error recovery mode can cause the serial data link to be forced down. In one aspect, forcing the data link down causes all subsequent inbound packets to be dropped and all pending outbound requests and completions to be aborted during the error recovery mode.

Claim (Index 34):
An apparatus comprising:\n a capability structure associated with an downstream port error containment mode; and a downstream port comprising:\n input/output (I/O) circuitry to support communication with another device over a serial data link; and \n error logic comprising hardware circuitry, wherein the error logic is to:\n determine an uncorrectable error associated with a packet; \n determine that a particular bit is set within the capability structure to indicate that the downstream port error containment mode is enabled for the downstream port, wherein the port error containment mode is to contain uncorrectable errors at the downstream port; \n set a downstream port error containment status bit to trigger the downstream port error containment mode based at least in part on the particular bit set to indicate that the downstream port error containment mode is enabled; \n halt traffic downstream from the downstream port in the downstream port error containment mode to avoid spread of data corruption associated with the uncorrectable error and to permit error recovery; and \n detect that the downstream port error containment status bit is cleared; \n \n wherein the I/O logic is to attempt to retrain the link based on clearing of the downstream port error containment status bit.
