Subject: [PATCH] xen/pciback: Don't disable PCI_COMMAND on PCI device reset.
e336be
e336be
There is no need for this at all. Worst it means that if
e336be
the guest tries to write to BARs it could lead (on certain
e336be
platforms) to PCI SERR errors.
e336be
e336be
Please note that with af6fc858a35b90e89ea7a7ee58e66628c55c776b
e336be
"xen-pciback: limit guest control of command register"
e336be
a guest is still allowed to enable those control bits (safely), but
e336be
is not allowed to disable them and that therefore a well behaved
e336be
frontend which enables things before using them will still
e336be
function correctly.
e336be
e336be
This is done via an write to the configuration register 0x4 which
e336be
triggers on the backend side:
e336be
command_write
e336be
  \- pci_enable_device
e336be
     \- pci_enable_device_flags
e336be
        \- do_pci_enable_device
e336be
           \- pcibios_enable_device
e336be
              \-pci_enable_resourcess
e336be
                [which enables the PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY|PCI_COMMAND_IO]
e336be
e336be
However guests (and drivers) which don't do this could cause
e336be
problems, including the security issues which XSA-120 sought
e336be
to address.
