__PCI_RESET_FUNCTION(9)	      Hardware Interfaces      __PCI_RESET_FUNCTION(9)

NAME
       __pci_reset_function_locked - reset a PCI device function while holding
       the dev mutex lock.

SYNOPSIS
       int __pci_reset_function_locked(struct pci_dev * dev);

ARGUMENTS
       dev
	   PCI device to reset

DESCRIPTION
       Some devices allow an individual function to be reset without affecting
       other functions in the same device. The PCI device must be responsive
       to PCI config space in order to use this function.

       The device function is presumed to be unused and the caller is holding
       the device mutex lock when this function is called. Resetting the
       device will make the contents of PCI configuration space random, so any
       caller of this must be prepared to reinitialise the device including
       MSI, bus mastering, BARs, decoding IO and memory spaces, etc.

       Returns 0 if the device function was successfully reset or negative if
       the device doesn't support resetting a single function.
