[ 3103.551136] vfio-fsl-mc dprc.2: VFIO_FLS_MC: reset device has failed (-13)

Re: VFIO_FLS_MC: reset device has failed

Bio_TICFSL — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 16:37:34 GMT

Hello,

The core problem is a missing restool dprc assign step in your setup script. Your script:

Creates dpdmux.0 and dpdmux.1 under dprc.1 (the root container).
Connects dpni.1/dpni.2 (which reside inside dprc.2, the VFIO container) to those DPDMUX interfaces.
Binds dprc.2 to the VFIO driver.

When the application exits, the VFIO driver attempts to reset all objects inside dprc.2. However, dpni.1/dpni.2 are still externally connected to dpdmux.0/dpdmux.1 objects that live in dprc.1. The MC firmware cannot cleanly reset the container because of these cross-container connections it doesn't have authority over → returns -13 (permission denied).

Why it works after reboot: After a cold boot, the DPAA2 objects are in a clean initial state. The first run succeeds. But on exit, the DPDMUX connections are not properly torn down, leaving the MC in a partial state. On the next run (without reboot), the container reset fails again.

Fix: Add `restool dprc assign` for DPDMUX Objects

The DPDMUX objects must be assigned into dprc.2 before binding to VFIO. This tells the MC that these objects are owned by the VFIO container and can be reset when the container is released.

Insert the following lines after creating/connecting the DPDMUX objects and before rebinding dprc.2 to VFIO:

# Assign dpdmux objects into dprc.2 so VFIO can reset them cleanly
restool dprc assign dprc.1 --object=dpdmux.0 --child=dprc.2 --plugged=1
restool dprc assign dprc.1 --object=dpdmux.1 --child=dprc.2 --plugged=1

# Now bind dprc.2 back to VFIO
echo dprc.2 > /sys/bus/fsl-mc/drivers/vfio-fsl-mc/bind
export DPRC=dprc.2

Your corrected script section should look like:

# Unbind dprc.2 from VFIO
echo dprc.2 > /sys/bus/fsl-mc/drivers/vfio-fsl-mc/unbind

# Create and connect DPDMUX for port dpmac.3
restool dpdmux create --num-ifs=3 --method DPDMUX_METHOD_MAC --max-dmat-entries=3 --manip=DPDMUX_MANIP_NONE
restool dprc connect dprc.1 --endpoint1=dpmac.3 --endpoint2=dpdmux.0.0
restool dprc connect dprc.1 --endpoint1=dpni.1 --endpoint2=dpdmux.0.1
restool dprc connect dprc.1 --endpoint1=dpni.3 --endpoint2=dpdmux.0.2

# Create and connect DPDMUX for port dpmac.4
restool dpdmux create --num-ifs=3 --method DPDMUX_METHOD_MAC --max-dmat-entries=3 --manip=DPDMUX_MANIP_NONE
restool dprc connect dprc.1 --endpoint1=dpmac.4 --endpoint2=dpdmux.1.0
restool dprc connect dprc.1 --endpoint1=dpni.2 --endpoint2=dpdmux.1.1
restool dprc connect dprc.1 --endpoint1=dpni.4 --endpoint2=dpdmux.1.2

# *** KEY FIX: Assign dpdmux objects to dprc.2 so VFIO can reset them ***
restool dprc assign dprc.1 --object=dpdmux.0 --child=dprc.2 --plugged=1
restool dprc assign dprc.1 --object=dpdmux.1 --child=dprc.2 --plugged=1

# Bind dprc.2 back to VFIO
echo dprc.2 > /sys/bus/fsl-mc/drivers/vfio-fsl-mc/bind
export DPRC=dprc.2

Additional Recommendations

Update MC firmware to the latest version for your BSP
Proper teardown between runs (without reboot): Before re-running your setup script, destroy the previously created DPDMUX objects to ensure a clean state:
```
restool dpdmux destroy dpdmux.0
restool dpdmux destroy dpdmux.1
```
Check MC console log at /dev/dpaa2_mc_console for additional firmware-level error details that may accompany the -13 error.
