The Stop() function mirrors the Start() function, so the Stop() function completes any
outstanding transactions to the PCI Controller and removes the protocol interfaces that were
installed in
Start() . Figure 12-14 shows the device handle for a PCI Controller before and after
Start() is called. In this example, a PCI Device Driver is adding the Block I/O Protocol to the
device handle for the PCI Controller. It is also a PCI Device Driver’s responsibility to disable the
I/O, Memory, and Bus Master decodes by calling
Attributes() .
