Application 10/887,525
THE INVENTION
The disclosed invention relates generally to the data processing field
and, more particularly, to a method, apparatus and system for isolating
input/output adapter interrupt domains in a data processing system.
(Specification 1).
Independent claims 1, 10, and 15 are illustrative:
1. A data processing system, comprising:
a system bus;
a host bridge connected to the system bus; and
a plurality of input/output units connected to the host bridge,
wherein the host bridge includes functionality for isolating interrupt
resources available to the plurality of input/output units from one
another.
10. A method for isolating interrupt resources available to a
plurality of input/output units in a data processing system, comprising:
isolating the interrupt resources available to the plurality of
input/output units from one another at a host bridge to which the
plurality of input/output units are connected.
15. An apparatus for isolating interrupt resources available to a
plurality of input/output units in a data processing system, comprising:
a host bridge for connecting the plurality of input/output units
to a system bus, the host bridge including functionality for isolating
interrupt resources available to the plurality of input/output units from
one another.
