How does kernel know the IRQ of a device loaded dynamically

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

For some traditional devices, such as floppy, keyboard, etc, the IRQ
is static, and their drivers know corresponding IRQs to register their
ISR. While for other devices hot plugged, such as USB devices, how
does the PIC or APIC allocate the IRQs for their controller? And how
does the deriver of a such device know the the corresponding IRQ so as
to register its ISR into the kernel?
