Seto is propsing an API that solves a different problem than what you are thinking about. In my case, the hardware (pci controller) will shut down a pci slot(s) in the case of a pci error (parity or otherwise). There's nothing that the software can do except to reset the pci controller (and the cards underneath it). Seto's API solves 1/2 the problem for me: it allows errors to be detected. The other 1/2 (to be discussed) is how to coordinate all the affected device drivers while the pci controller is being reset. --linas - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
