[mailto:kernelnewbies-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Greg KH >Now if you have a machine that has a PCI Hotplug controller, that would >be a totally different issue The PCI Hot plug specification talks about how the user should inform the hot-plug services about the intention of card insertion/removal and the further actions taken by the hot plug subsystems (like powering off the slot and all), do we have the support for the same in Linux ? and if so what is the mechanism by which the user should talk to the hotplug subsystem about proposed insertion/removal of a PCI device. I have worked with hotplug devices like the card bus where if I am correct the cardbus-PCI bridge will interrupt the processor on card insertion/removal but here I am talking about a typical PCI device.
