In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/xe: Reorganize the init to decouple migration from reset
Attempting to issue reset on VF devices that don't support migration leads to the following:

This is caused by the fact that some of the xe_vfio_pci_core_device members needed for handling reset are only initialized as part of migration init.
Fix the problem by reorganizing the code to decouple VF init from migration init.
