If you mean something like this:
diff --git a/drivers/vdpa/vdpa_user/vduse_dev.c
b/drivers/vdpa/vdpa_user/vduse_dev.c
index 6202f6902fcd..23b850023417 100644
--- a/drivers/vdpa/vdpa_user/vduse_dev.c
+++ b/drivers/vdpa/vdpa_user/vduse_dev.c
@@ -816,7 +816,8 @@ static int vduse_vdpa_reset(struct vdpa_device *vdpa)
struct vduse_dev *dev = vdpa_to_vduse(vdpa);

- vduse_dev_reset(dev);

return ret;
}

can send a patch on top.
