Please provide a better explanation of the problem, why it is needed, which VFs need and can't reset themselves, how and why it worked before e.t.c. In addition, please follow kernel submission guidelines, write changelong, add versions, cover letter e.t.c.

The solution that already exists for this sort of issue is a vfio-pci variant driver for the VF which communicates with an in-kernel PF driver to coordinate the VF FLR with the PF driver. This can be done by intercepting the userspace access to the VF FLR config space region. This solution of involving PCI-core and extending the vfio-pci interface only exists for userspace PF drivers. I don't see that facilitating vendors to implement their PF drivers in userspace to avoid upstreaming is a compelling reason to extend the vfio-pci interface.

See basically any of the vfio-pci variant drivers in drivers/vfio/pci/*/ For instance the virtio-vfio-pci driver is emulating a PCI IO BAR in config space and accesses through that BAR interact with the in-kernel PF driver. > our scenario is that: > 1, vf already pass-throughed to qemu > 2, a user mode driver on PF’s vfio arch is running there, and it want > to receive VF’s reset request (by Qemu through vfio interface), and > do some hw/fw sequences to achieve the real Vf reset goal > > >>.

I'm not asking to upstream a user mode driver, you're right that there is no repo for that, I'm questioning the motivation for making it a user mode PF driver in the first place. All device drivers are essentially meant to benefit the device vendor, but in-kernel drivers also offer a benefit to the community and users of those devices for ongoing support and development. Let me turn the question around, what benefit does it provide this PF driver to exist in userspace? Without having seen it, I'd venture that there's nothing this userspace PF driver could do that couldn't also be done via a kernel driver, either in-tree or out-of-tree, but the userspace driver avoids the upstreaming work of an in-tree driver and the tainting of an out-of-tree driver. > Isn’t VFIO arch intentionally to give user mode driver freedom and > ability to manipulate the HW ? VFIO is not intended to provide an alternative means to implement kernel drivers. VFIO is intended to provide secure, isolated access to devices for userspace drivers. What's the isolation relative to the VF if this PF driver needs to be involved in reset? How much VF data does the PF device have access to? This is the reason that vfio-pci introduced the vf-token barrier with SR-IOV support. The intention of this vf-token is to indicate a gap in trust. Only another userspace process knowing the vf-token configured by the PF userspace driver can access the device. We should not normalize vf-tokens. The requirement of a vf-token for a driver not strictly developed alongside the PF userspace driver should effectively be considered a tainted device. Therefore, what does this userspace PF driver offer that isn't better reflected using the existing vfio-pci-core code split to implement a vfio-pci variant driver, which has no need for the extension proposed here?

The PF driver being able to arbitrarily reset a VF device provided to another userspace process doesn't sound like separate, isolated devices. What else can the PF access? As noted in my other reply, vf-tokens should not be normalized and users of VFs provided by third party userspace PF drivers should consider the device no less tainted than if it were provided by an out-of-tree kernel driver. The idea to virtualize FLR on the VF to resolve the hardware defect is a good one, but it should be done in the context of a vfio-pci variant driver.

VF doesn't have the ability to reset itself completely which will cause the hardware in unstable state. So notify PF driver when the VF has been reset to let the PF resets the VF completely, and remove the VF out of schedule. How to implement this? Add the reset callback function in pci_driver Implement the callback functin in VFIO_PCI driver. Add the VF RESET IRQ for user mode driver to let the user mode driver know the VF has been reset.
