Re: [PATCH v2] PCI: Reset PCIe devices to stop ongoing DMA

[Takao Indoh]

Ping

Bjorn, could you please tell your impression on this idea?

This fix is very important for kdump. For exmaple, kdump does not work
if PCI passthrough is used on KVM guest. Please see patch description
for details.

If you don't agree this patch, please tell me what changes I should
make.

Thanks,
Takao Indoh
