1. We should not set status to 0 when invoking vp_vdpa_set_status().

2. The driver MUST wait for a read of device_status to return 0 before
  reinitializing the device.

Is this change really needed?

No need to get the status if we try to set status to 0 (trigger BUG).


Okay, but that's the case that should never happen, so IMHO we can leave it as it is.

+    /* We should never be setting status to 0. */
+    BUG_ON(status == 0);

IMHO panicking the kernel seems excessive in this case, please use WARN_ON and maybe return earlier.

Um...I referenced the vp_reset/vp_set_status,

Ah I see, maybe it's an old code, because recently we always try to avoid BUG_ON().

Should we set a limit after which we give up? A malfunctioning device could keep us here forever.

Yes, but the malfunctioning device maybe can not work anymore, how to handle it?

Maybe we should set the status to broken, but in this case we could just return an error if we couldn't reset it, how about that?

Thanks,
Stefano
