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 56):
A system comprising:\n means for receiving a packet on an interconnect, wherein the interconnect couples a set of devices in a computer; means for detecting, at a downstream port of a particular one of the set of devices, an uncorrectable error associated with a packet; means for determining, from a particular bit in an extended capability structure of the device, that a downstream port error containment mode is enabled for the downstream port, wherein the downstream port error containment mode is to contain uncorrectable errors at the downstream port; means for setting a downstream port error containment status bit to trigger the downstream port error containment mode based the downstream port error containment mode being enabled; means for halting traffic downstream from the downstream port in the downstream port error containment mode to avoid spread of data corruption associated with the error and to permit error recovery, wherein halting the traffic comprises sending training sequences on the link by the downstream port to force the link into a disabled link state, and the traffic is to be halted without a reset of the device; means for detecting that the downstream port error containment status bit is cleared; and means for attempting to retrain the link based on clearing of the downstream port error containment status bit.
