Abstract:
A peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) physical function is coupled to a controller. The controller is configured to allocate a first portion of resources for use by the PCIe physical function. A PCIe virtual function is coupled to the controller. The is configured to allocate a second portion of resources for use by the PCIe virtual function based, at least in part, on a total number of PCIe physical functions and a total number of PCIe virtual functions associated with the apparatus.

Claim (Index 17):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) physical function coupled to a controller; a first quantity of PCIe virtual functions coupled to the controller; and a data structure coupled to the controller, wherein the controller is configured to:\n allocate a first portion of resources to the physical function; \n allocate respective portions of resources to each virtual function among the first quantity of virtual functions; \n assign a command slot in the data structure for use by the physical function; \n assign a first number of respective command slots in the data structure for use by each virtual function among the plurality of virtual functions such that each virtual function has a respective command slot associated therewith; \n redistribute the first quantity of PCIe virtual functions to yield a second quantity of PCIe virtual functions; \n assign a second number of respective command slots in the data structure for use by each virtual function among the second quantity of virtual functions such that each virtual function of the second quantity of virtual functions has a respective command slot associated therewith; and \n allocate respective portions of resources to each virtual function among the second quantity of virtual functions.
