# NVMe Hotplug {#nvme_hotplug}
|
|
|
|
At the NVMe driver level, we provide the following support for Hotplug:
|
|
|
|
1. Hotplug events detection:
|
|
The user of the NVMe library can call spdk_nvme_probe() periodically to detect
|
|
hotplug events. The probe_cb, followed by the attach_cb, will be called for each
|
|
new device detected. The user may optionally also provide a remove_cb that will be
|
|
called if a previously attached NVMe device is no longer present on the system.
|
|
All subsequent I/O to the removed device will return an error.
|
|
|
|
2. Hot remove NVMe with IO loads:
|
|
When a device is hot removed while I/O is occurring, all access to the PCI BAR will
|
|
result in a SIGBUS error. The NVMe driver automatically handles this case by installing
|
|
a SIGBUS handler and remapping the PCI BAR to a new, placeholder memory location.
|
|
This means I/O in flight during a hot remove will complete with an appropriate error
|
|
code and will not crash the application.
