The skiboot firmware has a hot reset handler which fences the NVIDIA V100 GPU RAM on Witherspoons and makes accesses no-op instead of throwing HMIs: https://github.com/open-power/skiboot/commit/fca2b2b839a67 Now we are going to pass V100 via VFIO which most certainly involves KVM guests which are often terminated without getting a chance to offline GPU RAM so we end up with a running machine with misconfigured memory. Accessing this memory produces hardware management interrupts (HMI) which bring the host down. To suppress HMIs, this wires up this hot reset hook to vfio_pci_disable() via pci_disable_device() which switches NPU2 to a safe mode and prevents HMIs.

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.
