PCI: Allow userspace to query and set device reset mechanism
Add "reset_method" sysfs attribute to enable user to query and set preferred device reset methods and their ordering. [bhelgaas: on invalid sysfs input, return error and preserve previous config, as in earlier patch versions] Co-developed-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210817180500.1253-6-ameynarkhede03@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Amey Narkhede <ameynarkhede03@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Reviewed-by: Raphael Norwitz <raphael.norwitz@nutanix.com>

+Description:
+ Some devices allow an individual function to be reset
+ without affecting other functions in the same slot.
+
+ For devices that have this support, a file named
+ reset_method is present in sysfs. Reading this file
+ gives names of the supported and enabled reset methods and
+ their ordering. Writing a space-separated list of names of
+ reset methods sets the reset methods and ordering to be
+ used when resetting the device. Writing an empty string
+ disables the ability to reset the device. Writing
+ "default" enables all supported reset methods in the
+ default ordering.
