Writing Device Drivers

tran_dmafree() Entry Point

The tran_dmafree(9E) entry point deallocates DMA resources that have been allocated for a scsi_pkt(9S) structure. The tran_dmafree() entry point is called when the target driver calls scsi_dmafree(9F).

tran_dmafree() must free only DMA resources allocated for a scsi_pkt(9S) structure, not the scsi_pkt(9S) itself. When DMA resources are freed, a DMA synchronization is implicitly performed.


Note –

The scsi_pkt(9S) is freed in a separate request to tran_destroy_pkt(9E). Because tran_destroy_pkt() must also free DMA resources, the HBA driver must keep accurate note of whether scsi_pkt() structures have DMA resources allocated.



Example 18–7 HBA Driver tran_dmafree(9E) Entry Point

static void
isp_scsi_dmafree(
    struct scsi_address    *ap,
    struct scsi_pkt        *pkt)
{
    struct isp_cmd    *sp = (struct isp_cmd *)pkt->pkt_ha_private;

    if (sp->cmd_flags & CFLAG_DMAVALID) {
        sp->cmd_flags &= ~CFLAG_DMAVALID;
        (void)ddi_dma_unbind_handle(sp->cmd_dmahandle);
        ddi_dma_free_handle(&sp->cmd_dmahandle);
        sp->cmd_dmahandle = NULL;
    }
}
