Transporting a Command

After the scsi_pkt(9S) structure is filled in, use scsi_transport(9F) to hand the structure to the bus adapter driver:

if (scsi_transport(pkt) != TRAN_ACCEPT) {
    bp->b_resid = bp->b_bcount;
    bioerror(bp, EIO);
    biodone(bp);
}

The other return values from scsi_transport(9F) are as follows:

• TRAN_BUSY – A command for the specified target is already in progress.

• TRAN_BADPKT – The DMA count in the packet was too large, or the host adapter driver rejected this packet for other reasons.

• TRAN_FATAL_ERROR – The host adapter driver is unable to accept this packet.

If scsi_transport(9F) returns TRAN_ACCEPT, the packet becomes the responsibility of the host bus adapter driver. The packet should not be accessed by the target driver until the command completion routine is called.

Synchronous scsi_transport() Function

If FLAG_NOINTR is set in the packet, then scsi_transport(9F) does not return until the command is complete. No callback is performed.
