[vfio-users] [PATCH] PCI: Mark Intel bridge on SuperMicro Atom C3xxx motherboards to avoid bus reset

[Maik Broemme]

The Intel PCI bridge on SuperMicro Atom C3xxx motherboards do not
successfully complete a bus reset when used with certain child devices.
After the reset, config accesses to the child may fail. If assigning
such device via VFIO it will immediately fail with:

  vfio-pci 0000:01:00.0: Failed to return from FLR
  vfio-pci 0000:01:00.0: timed out waiting for pending transaction;
  performing function level reset anyway

Device will disappear from PCI device list:

  !!! Unknown header type 7f
  Kernel driver in use: vfio-pci
  Kernel modules: ddbridge

The attached patch will mark the root port as incapable of doing a
bus level reset. After that all my tested devices survive a VFIO
assignment and several VM reboot cycles.
