Abstract:
Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for resetting a peripheral device. An apparatus includes a disconnect module that detaches each of one or more device contexts from a peripheral device in response to a reset request for the peripheral device. Each of the one or more device contexts describes a connection between the peripheral device and a process. An apparatus includes an access module that prevents the one or more device contexts for one or more processes from accessing the peripheral device. An apparatus includes a reset module that resets the peripheral device in response to the one or more device contexts being detached from the peripheral device.
