Dear Prof.,
It's my first time to access the maillist. I do not know it's valid. :-)
Recently I am reading ixgbe driver source code. I am confused about
the pci_register_driver(). The following code:
5478 static struct pci_driver ixgbe_driver = {
5479 .name = ixgbe_driver_name,
5480 .id_table = ixgbe_pci_tbl,
5481 .probe = ixgbe_probe,
5482 .remove = __devexit_p(ixgbe_remove),
5483 #ifdef CONFIG_PM
5484 .suspend = ixgbe_suspend,
5485 .resume = ixgbe_resume,
5486 #endif
5487 #ifndef USE_REBOOT_NOTIFIER
5488 .shutdown = ixgbe_shutdown,
5489 #endif
5490 #ifdef HAVE_PCI_ERS
5491 .err_handler = &ixgbe_err_handler
5492 #endif
5493 };
the .probe=ixgbe_probe, function is registered to the PCI core
competent. I want to know When and Where it is called? if the 10G NIC
is plugged in the slot before the Driver is installed, the kernel how
to activate the NIC.
Thanks.
Best regards.
