[PATCH v6 15/31] vfio/pci: Route every reset point through a try-reset helper
From: mhonap
Date: Fri Oct 16 2026 - 13:41:12 EST
From: Manish Honap <mhonap@xxxxxxxxxx>
A provider such as vfio-cxl must reset its device itself: a CXL Type-2
function must not take an FLR, and its reset changes what the provider
lets the fault path map. vfio-pci-core resets a function at five points:
enable, close, VFIO_DEVICE_RESET, a virtualized PCIe or AF FLR, and the
guest's CXL Reset doorbell in the virtualized CXL DVSEC.
Add a mandatory reset op to the provider ops, and refuse to register ops
without it. Add vfio_pci_try_reset_function(), which keeps the trylock
of pci_try_reset_function(): it returns -EAGAIN when the device lock is
contended, and otherwise runs the provider's reset with the device lock
and memory_lock held. The close path keeps its bridge and device trylock
and calls a locked variant. vfio_pci_try_reset_function() saves the PCI
state first, as pci_try_reset_function() does, for the provider's reset
to restore. The locked variant does not save: on close the reset must
restore the open-time state that vfio_pci_core_disable() has just
loaded. A failed save is returned and the reset is not attempted.
The enable path still fails only on -EAGAIN. A provider checks at bind
that it can reset the device, so reset_works is set for a provider
device whatever the result of the first reset.
The CXL Reset doorbell now runs the reset and reports its result in
Status2: Reset Error on failure, Reset Done on success.
