Unfortunately the document that pretty much defines it (PAPR) uses "Enhanced": 5.4.1 Enhanced I/O Error Handling (EEH) Option And online I see that the AIX manuals use Enhanced: https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_aix_72/com.ibm.aix.kernextc/eeh_intro.htm So I'm going to nack this and ask you to send the inverse patch, that switches the kernel references to Enhanced. > --- > I don't know what kind of things parse MAINTAINERS, and if there's a chance > this will break them. Only scripts/get_maintainer.pl that I know of, and I don't think it cares about the heading much, so it would be safe to change. > Also, the powerpc tree *is* the right place to send this, right? Yep, patches to MAINTAINERS for powerpc specific stuff should go via me. cheers

Since you're at it, Please replace the maintainer to yourself. Also, the components mentioned in this file are listed in alphabetic order according to their names. As the name of EEH is changed, it would be put in front of "Extended Verification Module (EVM)". >Signed-off-by: Russell Currey <ruscur@russell.cc> With above issues fixed: Acked-by: Gavin Shan <gwshan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Thanks, Gavin >--- >I don't know what kind of things parse MAINTAINERS, and if there's a chance >this will break them.

Sure. While I'm changing MAINTAINERS, what are your thoughts on renaming the EEH entry from "ENHANCED ERROR HANDLING (EEH)" to something like "PCI EXTENDED ERROR HANDLING (EEH)" or "EXTENDED ERROR HANDLING (EEH) FOR PCI" - so it's clear it refers to PCI and not something more generic? > > > > > > > > > Signed-off-by: Russell Currey <ruscur@russell.cc> > > With above issues fixed: > > > > Acked-by: Gavin Shan <gwshan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> > > > Thanks, > Gavin > > > > > > > > > --- > > > I don't know what kind of things parse MAINTAINERS, and if there's a > > > chance > > > this will break them.

Yep, having PCI at the front would be good as it will sort next to the other PCI things. Having POWERPC in there is probably also good. cheers

Incredibly, IBM online documentation for EEH uses "extended error handling" and "enhanced error handling" to refer to the same thing, in different places. In other parts of the kernel, namely the EEH documentation (found in Documentation/powerpc/eeh-pci-error-recovery.txt), it's referred to as "extended", and in my opinion "extended" makes more sense for what EEH does. The only place "enhanced error handling" shows up in the kernel is in MAINTAINERS, so fix it.
