Abstract:
A polling device driver is partitioned into a plurality of driver threads for controlling a device of a computer system. The device has a first device state of an unscouted state and a scouted state, and a second device state of an inactive state and an active state. A driver thread of the plurality of driver threads determines that the first device state of the device state is in the unscouted state, and changes the first state of the device to the scouted state. The driver thread further determines that the second device state of the device is in the inactive state and changes the second device state of the device to the active state. The driver thread executes an operation on the device during a pre-determined time slot configured for the driver thread.

Claim (Index 24):
A method of implementing a device driver for controlling a device of a computer system, the method comprising:\n partitioning the device driver into a plurality of driver threads; monitoring a device status of the device and determining that the device has a task to perform; based on the device status, executing, by a first driver thread of the plurality of driver threads, the task on the device for a pre-determined time slot configured for the first driver thread, wherein the first driver thread is executed on a processor core of a multi-core processor of the computer system; and changing the device status to an inactive state after the pre-determined time slot expires.
