Interrupt Function Examples

This section provides examples for performing the following tasks:

• Changing soft interrupt priority

• Checking for pending interrupts

• Setting interrupt masks

• Clearing interrupt masks

Example 8–1 Changing Soft Interrupt Priority

Use the ddi_intr_set_softint_pri(9F) function to change the soft interrupt priority to 9.

if (ddi_intr_set_softint_pri(mydev->mydev_softint_hdl, 9) != DDI_SUCCESS)
    cmn_err (CE_WARN, "ddi_intr_set_softint_pri failed");

Example 8–2 Checking for Pending Interrupts

Use the ddi_intr_get_pending(9F) function to check whether an interrupt is pending.

if (ddi_intr_get_pending(mydevp->htable[0], &pending) != DDI_SUCCESS)
    cmn_err(CE_WARN, "ddi_intr_get_pending() failed");
else if (pending)
    cmn_err(CE_NOTE, "ddi_intr_get_pending(): Interrupt pending");

Example 8–3 Setting Interrupt Masks

Use the ddi_intr_set_mask(9F) function to set interrupt masking to prevent the device from receiving interrupts.

if ((ddi_intr_set_mask(mydevp->htable[0]) != DDI_SUCCESS))
    cmn_err(CE_WARN, "ddi_intr_set_mask() failed");

Example 8–4 Clearing Interrupt Masks

Use the ddi_intr_clr_mask(9F) function to clear interrupt masking. The ddi_intr_clr_mask(9F) function fails if the specified interrupt is not enabled. If the ddi_intr_clr_mask(9F) function succeeds, the device starts generating interrupts.

if (ddi_intr_clr_mask(mydevp->htable[0]) != DDI_SUCCESS)
    cmn_err(CE_WARN, "ddi_intr_clr_mask() failed");
