Abstract
In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides determining if a management queue can be created, and if a management queue can be created, allocating virtually contiguous memory to a management queue associated with a device, registering the management queue, and creating a management queue context.
Claims39
A method comprising:
- determining if a management queue associated with a device can be created;
- and
- if a management queue can be created:
- allocating virtually contiguous memory to the management queue;
- registering the management queue;
- and
- creating a management queue context.
An apparatus comprising:
- circuitry to:
- determine if a management queue associated with a device can be created;
- and
- if a management queue can be created, the circuitry to:
- allocate virtually contiguous memory to the management queue;
- register the management queue;
- and
- create a management queue context.
A system comprising:
- a circuit board that includes a circuit card slot;
- a device coupled to the circuit board via the circuit card slot;
- and
- a memory having circuitry to manage the device, the circuitry to:
- determine if a management queue associated with the device can be created;
- and
- if a management queue can be created:
- allocate virtually contiguous memory to the management queue;
- register the management queue;
- and
- create a management queue context.
An article of manufacture comprising a machine-readable medium having machine-accessible instructions, the instructions when executed by a machine, result in the following:
- determining if a management queue associated with a device can be created;
- and
- if a management queue can be created:
- allocating virtually contiguous memory to the management queue;
- registering the management queue;
- and
- creating a management queue context.
