We've always had a really weird looping construction for resetting VFs. We read the VFLRE register and reset the VF if the corresponding bit is set, which makes sense. However we loop continuously until we no longer have any bits left unset. At first this makes sense, as a sort of "keep trying until we succeed" concept. Unfortunately this causes a problem if we happen to surprise remove while this code is executing, because in this case we'll always read all 1s for the VFLRE register. This results in a hard lockup on the CPU because the loop will never terminate. Because our own reset function will clear the VFLR event register always, (except when we've lost PCIe link obviously) there is no real reason to loop. In practice, we'll loop over once and find that no VFs are pending anymore. Lets just check once. Since we're clear the notification when we reset there's no benefit to the loop. Additionally, there shouldn't be a race as future VLFRE events should trigger an interrupt. Additionally, we didn't warn or do anything in the looped case anyways.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
