Using real PCI hotplug hardware. This is a hack that forces the kernel to rescan the bus because it was not told it needed to do it. Because it was not told that, this implies your hardware is not really a pci hotplug system. > I haven't find any information of this issue of memory allocation and > rescan, so any pointer will help, Why do you feel you need to do the above? Why isn't your hardware "just working" when you add/remove a new PCI device? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
