[PATCH v2] ccw: clarify device reset

  • 1.  [PATCH v2] ccw: clarify device reset

    Posted 11-26-2021 11:47
    Unlike other transports, a reset triggered by the driver is actually
    complete once the command has been completed. Make this behaviour
    and the requirements more explicit.

    In order to reset a device, a driver sends the
    -CCW_CMD_VDEV_RESET command.
    +CCW_CMD_VDEV_RESET command. This command does not carry any payload.

    +The device signals completion of the virtio reset operation through successful
    +conclusion of the CCW_CMD_VDEV_RESET channel command. In particular, the
    +command not only triggers the reset operation, but the reset operation is
    +already completed when the operation concludes successfully.
    +
    +\devicenormative{\paragraph}{Resetting Devices}{Virtio Transport Options / Virtio over channel I/O / Device Operation / Resetting Devices}
    +
    +The device MUST finish the virtio reset operation and reinitialize
    +\field{device status} to zero before it concludes the CCW_CMD_VDEV_RESET
    +command successfully.
    +
    +The device MUST NOT send notifications or interact with the queues after
    +it signaled successful conclusion of the CCW_CMD_VDEV_RESET command.
    +
    +\drivernormative{\paragraph}{Resetting Devices}{Virtio Transport Options / Virtio over channel I/O / Device Operation / Resetting Devices}
    +
    +The driver MAY consider the virtio reset operation to be complete already after
    +successful conclusion of the CCW_CMD_VDEV_RESET channel command, although it
    +MAY also choose to verify reset completion by reading \field{device status} via
    +CCW_CMD_READ_STATUS and checking whether it is 0 afterwards.
