Hi Pali, [...] > Aaron: can you check if pci_dev_is_disconnected() is really something > which should be used and it helps you? While having a closer look, I've noticed that quite a few of the network drivers handle this somewhat, as I see that a lot of them have some sort of I/O error handles set where a check for "pci_channel_io_perm_failure" seem to be having place. This is also true for this driver looking at the igc_io_error_detected(). Is this not working for the igc driver? Or is this for something completely different? Having said all that, I am not an expert in network drivers, so pardon me if I am asking about something completely different, and I apologise if that is the case. > Bjorn, Krzysztof: what do you think about lifting helper function > pci_dev_is_disconnected() to be available to all drivers and not only in > PCI subsystem? No objections from me, if we believe it's useful and that it might encourage people to use a common API. Currently, I can see at least five potential users of this helper. Krzysztof
