Thanks, I assume you referring to something like this: # echo 1 > /sys/class/pci_bus/0000:03/device/0000:03:00.0/reset Doesn't seem to have any effect (network ports remain up, at least). Anyway, this device is completely managed by the kernel, not a user space driver. I'm not aware of anyone using this method to reset the device. If I understand Bjorn and you correctly, we have two options: 1. Keep the current implementation inside the driver. 2. Call __pci_reset_function_locked() from the driver and move the link toggling to drivers/pci/quirks.c as a "device_specific" method. Personally, I don't see any benefit in 2, but we can try to implement it, see if it even works and then decide. Please let me know what are your preferences. Thanks
