Hi,
The reset handler supposed to be in the "real" driver not in the pci-stub.
You are right, at this stage the VF can still be assigned to the pci-stub, which makes it useless in my case.
I think the only option for me will be to go with the v2 of the patch.
I'll do a bit more testing to make sure this is the case and resend the v2.
Thanks,
Tadeusz
