[ Upstream commit96d1a73161] When the VF driver does a reset, it (at least the Linux one) writes to the VFCTRL register to issue a reset and then immediately sends a reset message using the mailbox API. This is racy because when the PF driver detects that the VFCTRL register reset pin has been asserted, it clears the mailbox memory. Depending on ordering, the reset message sent by the VF could be cleared by the PF driver. It then responds to the cleared message with a NACK which causes the VF driver to malfunction. Fix this by deferring clearing the mailbox memory until the reset message is received.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
