Detailed Description

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum hwloc_backend_flag_e

Backend flags.

Enumerator
HWLOC_BACKEND_FLAG_NEED_LEVELS	Levels should be reconnected before this backend discover() is used.

Function Documentation

struct hwloc_backend* hwloc_backend_alloc

(

struct hwloc_disc_component *

component

)

Allocate a backend structure, set good default values, initialize backend->component and topology, etc. The caller will then modify whatever needed, and call hwloc_backend_enable().

int hwloc_backend_enable	(	struct hwloc_topology *	topology,
		struct hwloc_backend *	backend
	)

Enable a previously allocated and setup backend.

int hwloc_backends_get_obj_cpuset	(	struct hwloc_backend *	caller,
		struct hwloc_obj *	obj,
		hwloc_bitmap_t	cpuset
	)

Used by backends discovery callbacks to request locality information from others.

Traverse the list of enabled backends until one has a get_obj_cpuset() method, and call it.

int hwloc_backends_notify_new_object	(	struct hwloc_backend *	caller,
		struct hwloc_obj *	obj
	)

Used by backends discovery callbacks to notify other backends of new objects.

Traverse the list of enabled backends (all but caller) and invoke their notify_new_object() method to notify them that a new object just got added to the topology.

Currently only used for notifying of new PCI device objects.
