Sir:
now i am dealing with the pciexpress resource release and allocation
i found it hard to distinguish between the bus_alloc_resource
familiy(type rid and flag) and the rman_get/set_***** family(struct
rman and resource ) ,i have heard that memory resource which alloc by
the bus_alloc_resource should not be refer to by rid ,
" SYS_RES_MEMORY
Memory-access is done with the bus_space_(read,write)_(1,2,3,4)
functions (depends on how many bytes you want to read/write).
u_int8_t old;
old = bus_space_read_1(sc->bst, sc->bsh, 0);
bus_space_write_1(sc->bst, sc->bsh, 0, old); "
is that true?
the second question ,if i do hot swap and donot release the hot remove
card 's resource ,how can i attach it to the newly add-in card ?
shall i do a
pci_write_config(child, rle->rid, rle->start, 4);to pin the resource
to the pci space ?
i wonder if there 's a find document for the freebsd resource topology,
thank you ,sir .

: Prior to removing a card from the system, two things must occur:
:
: The device's driver must cease accessing the card.
:
: The card must cease generation transaction and interrupts.
:
: How this is accomplished is OS-specific, but the following must take place:
:
: The OS must stop issuing new requests to the device's driver or must
: instruct the driver to stop accepting new requests.
:
: The driver must terminate or complete all outstanding requests.
:
: The card must be disabled from generating interrupts or transactions.
:
: When the OS commands the driver to quiesce itself and its device, the
: OS must not expect the device to remain in the system (in other words,
: it could be removed and not replaced with a similar card).
:
: How to design and implement quiescing in freebsd?
device_quiesce? I have it in a p4 tree right now. Specifically, it
hooks up to the MOD_UNLOAD with a QUIESCE flag. The driver's
device_quiesce routine gets called, the driver sleeps there until it
knows that it is good, then returns to the caller. Then the driver's
detach routine can be called.
