pub trait ResetPartition {
    type Error: Error;

    // Required method
    fn reset(&self) -> Result<(), Self::Error>;
}

Extension trait for resetting the partition.

Required Associated Types

type Error: Error

Required Methods

fn reset(&self) -> Result<(), Self::Error>

Resets the partition, restoring all partition state to the initial state.

The caller must ensure that no VPs are running when this is called. If the partition supports PartitionTimeControl, time must be frozen and remains frozen after reset.

This resets partition-level (VM-wide) state. After this completes, the caller dispatches Processor::reset to each VP’s thread to reset per-VP state (registers, APIC, synic message queues, etc.).

If this fails, the partition is in a bad state and cannot be resumed until a subsequent reset call succeeds.
