With the recent improvements in arm64 and vfio-pci, we are seeing failures like this (on cn8890 based systems): [ 235.622361] Unhandled fault: synchronous external abort (0x96000210) at 0xfffffc00c1000100 [ 235.630625] Internal error: : 96000210 [#1] PREEMPT SMP . . .

The proposed fix is to not do a bus reset on these systems. David Daney (2): PCI: Allow PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_BUS_RESET to be used on bus device. PCI: Avoid bus reset for Cavium cn8xxx root ports. drivers/pci/pci.c | 4 ++++ drivers/pci/quirks.c | 8 ++++++++ 2 files changed, 12 insertions(+) -- 2.9.4
