Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a peripheral component interconnect express endpoint device accessing method, a computer system, and an apparatus. A state of an access request sent by a processor is monitored, and a simulation response message for the access request is sent to the processor when it is determined that the PCIe endpoint device sends no response message for the access request. Therefore, according to the simulation response message, the processor can confirm completion of the procedure corresponding to the previously sent access request, and shut down a timer for timing the access request and clear the buffered access request, thereby keeping normal processing in the processor and avoiding the MCE resetting problem that arises from accumulation of access requests in the processor.
