[PATCH v2 1/4] virtio: add virtio_device_shutdown() helper
From: Denis V. Lunev
Date: Wed Jun 24 2026 - 10:13:22 EST
The generic virtio bus .shutdown handler, virtio_dev_shutdown(), breaks
and resets a device once it has established that the driver has no
.shutdown of its own. A driver that does implement .shutdown, to quiesce
its own activity first, still needs the same break and reset afterwards
and would otherwise have to open code it.
Factor the break + synchronize_cbs + reset sequence out of
virtio_dev_shutdown() into an exported virtio_device_shutdown() helper so
such drivers can reuse it instead of duplicating the core logic.
No functional change.
