IOCTL_STORAGE_RESET_BUS IOCTL

Description

Resets an I/O bus and, indirectly, each device on the bus. Resetting the bus clears all device reservations and transfer speed settings, which must then be renegotiated, making it a time-consuming operation that should be used very rarely. The caller requires only read access to issue a bus reset.

The SrbStatus flag of pending SRBs is set to SRB_STATUS_BUS_RESET.

Parameters

The Information field is set to zero. The Status field is set to STATUS_SUCCESS, or possibly to STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES, STATUS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED, or STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST.
