Soft-reset is the procedure where we reset only the compute/DMA engines of the device, without requiring the current user-space process to release the device. This type of reset can happen if TDR event occurred (a workload got stuck) or by a root request through sysfs. This is only relevant for inference ASICs, as there is no real-world use-case to do that in training, because training runs on multiple devices. In addition, we also do (in certain ASICs) a reset upon device release. That reset uses the same code as the soft-reset. Therefore, to better differentiate between the two resets, it is better to rename the soft-reset support as "inference soft-reset", to make the code more self-explanatory.

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.
