tran_tgt_probe() Entry Point

The tran_tgt_probe(9E) entry point enables the HBA to customize the operation of scsi_probe(9F), if necessary. This entry point is called only when the target driver calls scsi_probe().

The HBA driver can retain the normal operation of scsi_probe() by calling scsi_hba_probe(9F) and returning its return value.

This entry point is not required, and if not needed, the HBA driver should set the tran_tgt_probe vector in the scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure to point to scsi_hba_probe().

scsi_probe() allocates a scsi_inquiry(9S) structure and sets the sd_inq field of the scsi_device(9S) structure to point to the data in scsi_inquiry. scsi_hba_probe() handles this task automatically. scsi_unprobe(9F) then frees the scsi_inquiry data.

Except for the allocation of scsi_inquiry data, tran_tgt_probe() must be stateless, because the same SCSI device might call tran_tgt_probe() several times. Normally, allocation of scsi_inquiry data is handled by scsi_hba_probe().

The allocation of the scsi_inquiry(9S) structure is handled automatically by scsi_hba_probe(). This information is only of concern if you want custom scsi_probe() handling.
