From 6e5aa7efb27aec7e55b6463fa2c8db594c4226fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2008 23:50:03 -0500 Subject: virtio: reset function A reset function solves three problems: 1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a guest driver without rebooting the guest. 2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset, we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and 3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers. So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove feature bits is via reset. We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues: the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its remove function.
