This introduces the hclge device reset states of "requested" and "pending" and also its handling in context to Reset Service Task. Device gets into requested state because of any VF reset request asserted from upper layers, for example due to watchdog timeout expiration. Requested state would result in eventually forwarding the VF reset request to PF which would actually reset the VF. Device will get into pending state if: 1. VF receives the acknowledgement from PF for the VF reset request it originally sent to PF. 2. Reset Service Task detects that after asserting VF reset for certain times the data-path is not working and device then decides to assert full VF reset(this means also resetting the PCIe interface). 3. PF intimates the VF that it has undergone reset. Pending state would result in VF to poll for hardware reset completion status and then resetting the stack/enet layer, which in turn means reinitializing the ring management/enet layer. Note: we would be adding support of 3. later as a separate patch. This decision should not affect VF reset as its event handling is generic in nature.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
