How does the unified device model facilitate kernel support for hot swappable devices?
What will be an ideal response?
The unified device model defines data structures to represent devices, device drivers,
buses, and device classes. Each bus data structure represents a particular bus (e.g., PCI) and
contains pointers to a list of devices attached to the bus and drivers that operate devices on
the bus. Each class data structure represents a device class and contains pointers to a list of
devices and device drivers that belong to that class.The unified device model associates each
device and device driver with a bus and class.As a result, the kernel can access a bus, determine
a list of device and drivers on that bus and then determine the class to which each
device and device driver belongs. Similarly, the kernel can access a device class, follow the
pointers to its list of devices and device drivers and determine the bus to which each device is
attached. Thus, the kernel requires a reference only to a single data structure to access all
other data structures in the unified device model. This simplifies device management for the
kernel as devices are added to and removed from the system.
