> This patch adds a new eth_dev layer API function rte_eth_dev_reset().

> It means that all SW resources allocated in ethdev layer should be
> kept and SW and HW resources of the NIC in PMD need to be reset in

> The sequence of dev_uninit() and dev_init() can be packed into a
> single interface API rte_eth_dev_reset().

May be I didn't understood this use case properly,But, PF can always send mailbox
message to VF on PF reset. Right?
On such message from PF, VF can transparently reset without application
knowledge(i.e rx and/or tx burst return zero)

When apart from the above use case? Even if it is above case, we should have
some event to notify application to initiate the reset.Right? Without the
event, When or on what basics application needs to initiate reset?
