Thanks, Dexuan!
The 82599 does report FLR in the DEVCAP for the PF (sec 9.3.10.4), but
not in the DEVCAP for the VF (sec 9.5), which indeed means we can't
use pcie_flr() on the VFs. I wonder whether this error appears in any
other devices.
The VF DEVCTL register (sec 9.5.2.2.1) is RO and zero except for
"Initiate FLR" unlike the PF DEVCTL (sec 9.3.10.5). The
read/modify/write done by pcie_flr() would work on the VF but is not
necessary.
The VF DEVSTA register (sec 9.5.2.2.2) does have an active
"Transaction Pending" bit. That suggests to me that we should wait
for it to be clear, as pcie_flr() does.
What would you think of a patch like the following? My idea is to
make it the same as pcie_flr() except for the absolutely necessary
differences. With this patch, the only difference is that we don't
look at the 82599 DEVCAP FLR bit.
