Besides checking VFGEN_RSTAT, there is a process to handleVIRTCHNL_OP_EVENT from PF. What is the change for? Any scenario which VIRTCHNL_OP_EVENT doesn't cover?quoted
And how is the 500us been determined?Hi Jingjing, thanks for reviewing, I think this can be handled with the VIRTCHNL_OP_EVENT with no need for a watchdog alarm, I will rework the patch.Hi, Radu, I saw the patch is reworked, but looks like watchdog is still there. So what is the scenario VIRTCHNL_OP_EVENT doesn't cover?
Hi Jingjing I went over this with Declan, the reason it was added is that we can actually have a hardware initiated reset that may not trigger an event; and also the kernel driver is implementing a similar mechanism. Would it be more acceptable to have it disabled by default?
