Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] virtio: introduce SUSPEND and RESUME feature
Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2025 16:36:37 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250623083637.296041-4-lingshan.zhu@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250623083637.296041-1-lingshan.zhu@amd.com>

This commit allows the driver to suspend the
device through a new device status bit SUSPEND
and resume the device running by re-setting
DRIVER_OK bit in device status.

Signed-off-by: Zhu Lingshan <lingshan.zhu@amd.com>
