    net: hns3: adjust VF's reset process · dea846e8
    Huazhong Tan authored
    Currently when VF need to reset itself, it will send a cmd to PF,
    after receiving the VF reset requset, PF sends a cmd to inform
    VF to enter the reset process and send a cmd to firmware to do the
    actual reset for the VF, it is possible that firmware has resetted
    the VF, but VF has not entered the reset process, which may cause
    IO not stopped problem when firmware is resetting VF.
    
    This patch fixes it by adjusting the VF reset process, when VF
    need to reset itself, it will enter the reset process first, and
    it will tell the PF to send cmd to firmware to reset itself.
    
    Add member reset_pending to struct hclgevf_dev, which indicates that
    there is reset event need to be processed by the VF's reset task, and
    the VF's reset task chooses the highest-level one and clears other
    low-level one when it processes reset_pending.
    
    hclge_inform_reset_assert_to_vf function is unused now, but it will
    be used to support the PF reset with VF working, so declare it in
    the header file.
