Drawing a hard line on aborted resets prevents a NIC open in some scenarios that may otherwise be recoverable. For example, if a firmware recovery happened while a PF was down and an attempt was made to bring up an associated VF in this state, then it was impossible to ever bring up this VF without a rebind or reload of its driver. Attempt to reinitialize the firmware when an aborted reset (or failed init after a reset) is discovered during open - it may succeed. Also take care to allow the user to retry opening the NIC even after an aborted reset.

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.
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.
