Abstract
A virtual function (VF) of a virtual machine is enabled to directly reset a processing portion of a processing unit. The VF initiates the reset of the processing portion directly and a host driver associated with the processing unit is bypassed during the reset process. By allowing for a direct reset of the processing portion, a processing system reduces the overhead associated with the reset process, enhances system security, and improves overall VM and hardware isolation at the processing system.
