    • The invention described in the instant application provides for a failure-recovery module, which permits automatic investigation of possible reasons for the failure and takes corrective action in a manner transparent to the user. The failure-recovery module, which is a software module, is useful in evaluating a device connected to a master-slave bus to determine whether it has failed. In the event the device is still connected to the master-slave bus but is non-responsive, the failure-recovery module resets the device, e.g., by turning off the power to the affected device and rebooting the device with a cold start. The failure-recovery module diagnoses the failure of a device by determining if the device is still connected to the master-slave bus. Then, the failure-recovery module sets a flag to mark the device as having failed while disabling access to devices downstream of the failed device. If the failure-recovery module is unable to execute successfully, it assumes that the failure causing condition still exists. In some embodiments this results in rescheduling the execution of the failure-recovery module while in other embodiments a general failure may be declared or the failed device left in its disconnected state. On the other hand, if the failure-recovery module executes successfully, the affected device is reinitialized and the flags marking it as failed are cleared with access to the device being restored. Subsequently, downstream devices are reinitialized and resources, if available, allocated to them along with enumeration of the devices.
    • 本申请中描述的发明提供了故障恢复模块,其允许自动调查故障的可能原因,并以对用户透明的方式采取纠正措施。 作为软件模块的故障恢复模块在评估连接到主从总线的设备以确定其是否失败时很有用。 如果设备仍然连接到主从总线但不响应,则故障恢复模块会重置设备,例如,通过关闭受影响设备的电源并重新启动设备,并启动冷启动。 故障恢复模块通过确定设备是否仍然连接到主从总线来诊断设备的故障。 然后,故障恢复模块设置一个标志,以将设备标记为已失败,同时禁用对故障设备下游设备的访问。 如果故障恢复模块无法成功执行,则假定故障原因仍然存在。 在一些实施例中,这导致重新安排故障恢复模块的执行,而在其他实施例中可以声明一般故障或者故障设备处于其断开状态。 另一方面,如果故障恢复模块成功执行,则受影响的设备将被重新初始化,标记为失败的标志将被清除,并访问正在还原的设备。 随后,重新初始化下游设备,并将资源(如果有的话)与设备的枚举一起分配给它们。
