6.2.10 for Downstream Port Containment:

   When DPC is triggered due to receipt of an uncorrectable error 
Message,
   the Requester ID from the Message is recorded in the DPC Error
   Source ID register and that Message is discarded and not forwarded
   Upstream. When DPC is triggered by an unmasked uncorrectable error,
   that error will not be signaled with an uncorrectable error Message,
   even if otherwise enabled.

Inst the message is discarded and not forwarded to upstream.
which means that we should not find AER status set in RP or Switch.
in other words, at time either we will find DPC or AER triggered but not 
both at the same time.
then when DPC is triggered why do we need to 
pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status(pdev); ?

Oza.
