Hello, this series started with a simple fix [5/5], which sadly didn't fix enough without [4/5]. [1-3/5] are refactors to make the reset a bit easier to follow. ([1-3,5/5] are applicable without [4/5].) [4/5] changes the userspace ABI and I'd like to gather your opinions on how the ABI is supposed to work. As another proposal, what do you think about an IOCTL that allows userspace to invoke any KVM SBI ecall? Userspace could call the KVM HSM implementation to reset and start a VCPU, but I think that kvm_mp_state is an SBI HSM interface, so we have an obscure IOCTL for it already. I was also thinking about using KVM_MP_STATE_UNINITIALIZED to distinguish that KVM should reset the state when becoming runnable. I recommend to start with the following hunk in [4/5], as it's the only significant part of this series: @@ -520,6 +525,10 @@ int kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_mpstate(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, switch (mp_state->mp_state) { case KVM_MP_STATE_RUNNABLE: + if (riscv_vcpu_supports_sbi_ext(vcpu, KVM_RISCV_SBI_EXT_HSM) && + vcpu->arch.ran_atleast_once && + kvm_riscv_vcpu_stopped(vcpu)) + kvm_riscv_vcpu_sbi_request_reset_from_userspace(vcpu); Thanks.
