Fine let me take a stab at the next version which will have this: * Introduce a status bit for device to indicate "reset in progress". This could be adopted by other transports also (for ex PCI). * For v3 MMIO devices, driver, after initiating reset, should wait until status = 0 or device indicates "failure". What the driver does when it sees failure can be implementation defined (it can give up or try reset few more times) - vatsa -- Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is submitting the attached "feedback" as a non-member to the virtio-dev mailing list for consideration and inclusion.
