Subject: [PATCH] vfio: Add an ioctl to reset the device

When using VFIO to assign a device to a guest, we want to make sure
the device is quiesced on VM reset to stop all DMA within the guest
mapped memory. Add an ioctl which just calls pci_reset_function()
and returns whether it succeeds.

We've recently needed to add this functionality for current KVM
based device assignment, VFIO should provide a way to do this too.
An example of it being used in the Qemu VFIO driver can be found
here:

I can't find include/linux/vfio.h in linux-next or mainline git, but
ioctls need to be documented in Documentation/ioctl/ioctl-number.txt....

It is in the full patchset: https://github.com/pugs/vfio-linux-2.6

Shouldn't there be a reset when binding/unbinding vfio to/from a pci
device?

There's already one when the /dev/vfioX file is opened, we should add
another on release, and probably add the same PCI save state store/load
that I'm proposing for KVM across those. Thanks,

Alex

Hmm, I looked and didn't see it, hence the question.

vfio_open() -> pci_reset_function()

Applied.
