Subject: [PATCH v14 0/2] PCI: Add device-specific reset for Qualcomm devices
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 09:16:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917071651.14174-1-jtornosm@redhat.com> (raw)
Some Qualcomm PCIe devices (WCN6855, WCN7850 WLAN; SDX62/SDX65 modems)
lack working reset methods for VFIO passthrough scenarios. These devices
have no FLR capability, advertise NoSoftRst+ (blocking PM reset), and have
broken bus reset (addressed by quirk_no_bus_reset, merged for v7.2).
VFIO attempts to reset devices on every reassignment:
- For the listed modems, without a proper reset capability, these devices
never successfully initialize even on first VM assignment.
- For the listed WLAN devices, without a working reset method, the attempt
fails. On clean VM shutdown, the guest driver properly deinitializes the
device via .shutdown/.remove callbacks, leaving it in a usable state despite
the failed reset. However, on unclean VM termination (crash, force-off), the
guest driver callbacks are not triggered, the device remains in an undefined
state (DMA active, interrupts enabled, etc.), and without a working reset it
cannot be reused.
Add device-specific reset methods using BAR-space hardware reset registers
that exist in these devices:
Patch 1: SDX62/SDX65 modem reset via MHI SoC reset
Patch 2: WCN6855/WCN7850 WLAN reset via SoC global reset
These are true hardware reset mechanisms (not power management or firmware
error recovery), providing proper device reset for VFIO scenarios.
Testing shows stable operation over 100+ VM crash/reset cycles. Device-
specific reset is position #1 in the reset hierarchy, so these devices
will use hardware reset as their primary reset method.

v14: Address Bjorn Helgaas feedback:
- Split WLAN and modem resets into two separate patches
- Clarify commit message for WLAN devices: VFIO resets on every
reassignment, clean shutdown leaves device in usable state via
driver callbacks, but unclean termination is where the lack of reset
is critical
- No code changes from v13, only patch split and commit message
clarification (Mani's Reviewed-by retained)
v13: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260915223634.GA878346@bhelgaas/
