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 .

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. Warner
