Re: [PATCH] bnx2: Reset device during driver initialization

[Baoquan He]

Hi Joreg,

Sorry, forget ccing to you.

Recently I tried to fix the kdump failure in amd iommu system again, and
now the latest code works, IO_PAGE_FAULT can't be seen any more. But on
several amd iommu system with bnx2 NIC, always IO_PAGE_FAULT will be
printed out. After investegating I found out bnx2 driver doesn't reset
hardware/reg like other pci device, it does the reset job in bnx2_open
which is the net device up stage. So with this patch the IO_PAGE_FAULT
is away too on the system with bnx2 NIC. I will 

However when I got a intel system with vt-d and bnx2 NIC, kdump works
well, and no any error message can be seen. From code it clearly shows
the domain assignment is done in __intel_map_single, at this time bnx2
driver hasn't reset device, the on-flight DMA should still exist. Do you
have any idea on this? Or I missed anything? I also deferred the
set_dte_entry calling to __map_single calling, the principal should be
similar.

Thanks
Baoquan
