Once a device it stopped its state etc cannot be queried. if you want to stop and still allow certain operations, a better spec definition is needed that says, stop A, B, C, but allow D, E, F, G. A = stop CVQs and save its state somewhere B = stop data VQs and save it state somewhere C = stop generic config interrupt D = query state of multiple VQs E = query device statistics and other elements/objects in future F = setup/config/restore certain fields G = resume the device > > Adding the admin vq to the mix, this would stop a device of a device group, > but not the whole virtqueue group.
