RE: [PATCH] virtio_pci: Wait for legacy device to be reset

[Angus Chen]

Hi.

We got a legacy probe problem multitimes.
After reset the legacy device,and we probe the device quickly,
We often get the wrong status of device , especially use in vdpa with legacy moden.
It's often occurs in the set vq status ioctl.

If we use modern virtio device ,it is disappear.

Thanks.
