ABSTRACT:
A system for and method of operating of data communication interface for handling communication between a data processing system and a plurality of communication channels is disclosed. The method provides for monitoring posting of actions from the data processing system and from the plurality of communication channels. Responsive to detection of posting of an action, it is determined if the action was posted by the data processing system. Where the action was posted from the data processing system, it is determined if conditions permit the action to be executed. Responsive to an affirmative determination that the action can be executed it is executed. Responsive to a determination that the action was posted from the host data processing, but was not executable, the action is added to the end of a queue of actions. The first entry in the queue is then examined for executability. If executable, the first action is executed and replaced as first action with the next action from the queue, if any. If the first action cannot be executed, it is moved to the end of the queue and replaced the first action with a next action from the queue, if any. Actions required for response to interrupts from communication controllers are end queued upon receipt.
