Abstract

See full text

Virtual hot plug systems and methods are described for Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), PCI Express (PCIe), and variants thereof. Specifically, the virtual hot plug systems and methods enable PCI related devices to support a hot plug configuration with such devices lacking hot plug controller hardware. The virtual hot plug systems and methods include intelligent polling logic for discovering the new PCI/PCIe devices with proper logic to access the hardware and avoid hanging or locking up the operating system.
