> Subject: [PATCH v6] net/iavf: fix duplicate VF reset during PF reset recovery
>
> During PF initiated reset recovery, iavf_dev_close() sends an
> extra 'VIRTCHNL_OP_RESET_VF' while recovery is already in progress.
> That second reset can leave PF/VF virtchnl state inconsistent and
> cause 'VIRTCHNL_OP_CONFIG_VSI_QUEUES' to fail with 'ERR_PARAM' after
> ToR link flap/power-cycle, leaving the VF unable to recover.
> This results in connection loss.
>
> This patch introduces a new flag 'pf_reset_in_progress', which
> is set only when iavf_handle_hw_reset() is entered for a
> PF-initiated reset (vf_initiated_reset is false), and
> it is cleared on exit.
> The aforesaid flag is used to prevent sending close-time VF
> reset and related close-time virtchnl operation messages to the
> AdminQ when PF triggered reset recovery is set.
> This is done to avoid duplicate VF reset requests while preserving
> normal behavior for application-driven close or VF-initiated reinit.
