Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v2 1/4] ve: Remove STOPPED state
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 15:52:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026-ovl-use-orig-ve-v2-1-eab58bfc29ca@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261026-ovl-use-orig-ve-v2-0-eab58bfc29ca@virtuozzo.com>

We don't need extra STOPPED state. It makes us feel that CT
could be started again from it, but it is actually not true.

Separate STOPPED stated doesn't bring any value. Drop it and
transition VE to DEAD state directly on the stop.
