  • Race condition prevention
    Patent number: 7366958
    Abstract: One embodiment of a method may include, in response, at least in part, to one or more received frames, generating an interrupt and preventing transmission of one or more other frames. The one or more received frames may indicate, at least in part, an error condition or a commencement of a data transfer. The method of this embodiment also may include, in response, at least in part, to the interrupt, executing one or more instructions. The one or more instructions, when executed, may optionally result in deleting the one or more other frames, and if the one or more received frames indicate, at least in part, the error condition, commencing recovery from the error condition. If the one or more received frames indicate, at least in part, the commencement of the data transfer, the method of the embodiment may include storing data associated with the data transfer.
