PCIe Native Hotplug Integration with ACPI-Based Hotplug

Explore the challenges and potential solutions for integrating PCIe native hotplug with ACPI-based hotplug in this 17-minute conference talk from the Linux Plumbers Conference. Delve into the current limitations of mutually exclusive pciehp and acpiphp systems, and examine the reasons for removing these restrictions. Learn about the problems arising on certain systems due to this exclusivity and discuss potential approaches to seamlessly integrate both hotplug methods. Gain insights from Intel OTC expert Rafael Wysocki on the future of PCIe and ACPI-based hotplug compatibility in Linux systems.
