If we lose PCIe link, such as when an unannounced PFLR event occurs, or when a device is surprise removed, we currently detach the device and close the netdev. This unfortunately leaves a lot of things still active, such as the msix_mbx_pf IRQ, and Tx/Rx resources. This can cause problems because the register reads will return potentially invalid values which may result in unknown driver behavior. Begin the process of resetting using fm10k_prepare_for_reset(), much in the same way as the suspend and resume cycle does. This will attempt to shutdown as much as possible, in order to prevent possible issues. A naive implementation for this has issues, because there are now multiple flows calling the reset logic and setting a reset bit. This would cause problems, because the "re-attach" routine might call fm10k_handle_reset() prior to the reset actually finishing. Instead, we'll add state bits to indicate which flow actually initiated the reset. For the general reset flow, we'll assume that if someone else is resetting that we do not need to handle it at all, so it does not need its own state bit. For the suspend case, we will simply issue a warning indicating that we are attempting to recover from this case when resuming. For the detached subtask, we'll simply refuse to re-attach until we've actually initiated a reset as part of that flow. Finally, we'll stop attempting to manage the mailbox subtask when we're detached, since there's nothing we can do if we don't have a PCIe address. Overall this produces a much cleaner shutdown and recovery cycle for a PCIe surprise remove event.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
