Per the SISLite specification, context_reset() writes 0x1 to the LSB of the reset register. When the AFU processes this reset request, it is expected to clear the bit after reset is complete. The current implementation simply checks that the entire value read back is not 1, instead of masking off the LSB and evaluating it for a change to 0. Should the AFU manipulate other bits during the reset (reading back a value of 0xF for example), successful completion will be prematurely indicated given the existing logic. Additionally, in the event that the context reset operation fails, there does not currently exist a way to provide feedback to the initiator of the reset. This poses a problem for the rare case that a context reset fails as the caller will proceed on the assumption that all is well. To remedy these issues, refactor the context reset routine to only mask off the LSB when evaluating for success and return status to the caller. Also update the context reset handler parameters to pass a hardware queue reference instead of a single command to better reflect that the entire queue associated with the context is impacted by the reset.

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.
