# Vendor Reset
|
||||
|
||||
The goal of this project is to provide a kernel module that is capable of
|
||||
resetting hardware devices into a state where they can be re-initialized or

|
@ -7,15 +7,53 @@ these in the kernel as PCI quirks, some of the reset procedures are very complex
|
|||
and would never be accepted as a quirk (ie AMD Vega 10).
|
||||
|
||||
By providing this as an out of tree kernel module, vendors will be able to
|

easily create pull requests to add functionallity to this module, and users will
|
||||
easily create pull requests to add functionality to this module, and users will
|
||||
be able to easily update this module without requiring a complete kernel rebuild.
|
||||
|
||||
## Patching the kernel
|
||||
|
||||
TL;DR - No patching required.
|
||||
|
||||
This module has been written to use `ftrace` to hook `pci_dev_specific_reset`,
|
||||
allowing it to handle device resets directly without patching the running
|
||||
kernel. Simply modprobing the module is enough to enable the reset routines for
|
||||
all supported hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installing
|
||||
|
||||
This module can be installed either using the standard `make`, `make install`
|
||||
pattern, or through `dkms` (recommended).
|
||||
|
||||
dkms install .
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Either `modprobe vendor-reset` or add the device to the appropriate place to
|
||||
load it at system boot, such as `/etc/modules` (Debian). Consult your
|
||||
distribution's documentation as to the best way to perform this.
|
||||

## Developing
|
||||
|
||||
If you are a vendor intending to add support for your device to this project
|
||||
please first consider two things:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Can you fix your hardware/firmware to reset correctly using FLR or a BUS
|
||||
reset?
|
||||
2. Is the reset simple enough that it should really be a kernel pci quirk
|
||||
(see: pci_quirk.c)?
|
||||
(see: kernel/drivers/pci/quirk.c)?
|
||||
|
||||
If you answer yes to either of these questions this project is not for you.
