1. A processor-executed method for managing system resource allocation, comprising:

  • receiving at an input/output controller (IOC) a first command that requires a system resource;

    receiving from an IOC token requestor (ITR) a first request for a token corresponding to the system resource for the first command in response to receiving the first command;

    receiving at the IOC a second command that requires the system resource;

    assigning the token corresponding to the system resource to the second command by the ITR; and

    receiving from the ITR a second request for the token corresponding to the system resource for the second command in response to receiving the second command;

    wherein receiving the second request for the system resource for the second command includes receiving the second request for the system resource for the second command after the system resource is assigned to the second command.
