SubjectRe: [PATCH V3 2/2] Xen/PCIback: Implement PCI flr/slot/bus reset with 'reset' SysFS attribute
From
Date
Jan,

One quick update on pcie_flr() specific implementation. Please see below.
>>> +static int pcistub_device_reset(struct pci_dev *dev)
>>> +{
>>> + struct xen_pcibk_dev_data *dev_data;
>>> + bool slot = false, bus = false;
>>> + struct pcistub_args arg = {};
>>> +
>>> + if (!dev)
>>> + return -EINVAL;
>>> +
>>> + dev_dbg(&dev->dev, "[%s]\n", __func__);
>>> +
>>> + /* First check and try FLR */
>>> + if (pcie_has_flr(dev)) {
>>> + dev_dbg(&dev->dev, "resetting %s device using FLR\n",
>>> + pci_name(dev));
>>> + pcie_flr(dev);
>> The lack of error check here puzzled me, but I see the function

I exchanged some emails with Bjorn/Christoph and it looks like Christoph
as some planto restructure pcie flr specific functions but I don't know
the exact time-frame. For now,I am planning to use existing pcie_flr()
after checking FLR capability. We will switchto revised pcie_flr() once
it is available.

I hope you are fine with this approach. Please let me know. Thanks.

Cheers
GOVINDA
