Name

tran_setup_pkt, tran_teardown_pkt, tran_pkt_constructor, tran_pkt_destructor– SCSI HBA packet allocation and deallocation

Synopsis

#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>

struct scsi_pkt *prefix_tran_setup_pkt(struct scsi_pkt *pkt,
     int (*callback) (caddr_t), caddr_t arg);

void prefix_tran_teardown_pkt(struct scsi_pkt *pkt);

int prefix_tran_pkt_constructor(struct scsi_pkt *pkt,
     scsi_hba_tran_t *tranp, int kmflags);

void prefix_tran_pkt_destructor(struct scsi_pkt *pkt,

Interface Level

Solaris architecture specific (Solaris DDI).

Parameters

pkt: Pointer to the scsi_pkt(9S) structure.
flags: Flags for associating DMA resources with the packet.
callback: Pointer to either NULL_FUNC or SLEEP_FUNC.
arg: Always NULL.
kmflags: Either KM_SLEEP or KM_NOSLEEP.

Description

The tran_setup_pkt() and tran_destroy_pkt() vectors in the scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure are alternatives to the tran_init_pkt() and tran_destroy_pkt() entry points. They are initialized during the HBA driver's attach(9E) and they are used when a target driver calls scsi_init_pkt(9F) and scsi_destroy_pkt(9F).

tran_setup_pkt( )

The tran_setup_pkt() vector is the entry point into the HBA which is used to initialize HBA specific information in a scsi_pkt structure on behalf of a SCSI target driver. All fields documented in scsi_pkt(9S) are initialized.

If the HBA driver chose not to preallocate memory for pkt_cdbp and/or pkt_scbp, it must allocate the requested memory at this time and point pkt_cdbp and pkt_scbp to the allocated memory.

An HBA driver which provides a tran_setup_pkt entry point inspects the pkt_numcookies and pkt_cookies fields at tran_start time to set up the transfer. If pkt_numcookies is zero, there are no DMA resources associated with this packet. If pkt_numcookies is not zero, it indicates the number of DMA cookies that pkt_cookies points to.

The pkt_tgtlen field contains the length of the packet private area pointed to by pkt_private, allocated on behalf of the SCSI target driver.

The pkt_scblen field contains the length of the SCSI status completion block pointed to by pkt_scbp. If the status length is greater than or equal to sizeof (struct scsi_arq_status) and the auto_rqsensecapability has been set, automatic request sense (ARS) is enabled for this packet. If the status lengthislessthansizeof (struct scsi_arq_status), automatic request sense should be disabled for this pkt if the HBA driver is capable of disabling ARQ on a per-packet basis.

The pkt_cdblen field contains the length of the SCSI command descriptor block.

The callback argument indicates what the allocator routines should do when resources are not available:

NULL_FUNC: Do not wait for resources. Return a NULL pointer.
SLEEP_FUNC: Wait indefinitely for resources.

tran_teardown_pkt( )

The tran_teardown_pkt() is the entry point into the HBA that must free all of the resources that were allocated to the scsi_pkt(9S) structure during tran_setup_pkt().

tran_pkt_constructor( ) tran_pkt_destructor( )

When using tran_pkt_setup() and tran_pkt_teardown(), tran_pkt_constructor() and tran_pkt_destructor() are additional optional entry points that perform the actions of a constructor and destructor. The constructor is called after the following fields in the scsi_pkt structure have been initialized:

pkt_address

pkt_ha_private

pkt_cdbp

pkt_private

pkt_scbp

pkt_cdblen

pkt_tgtlen

pkt_scblen

Allocating and freeing a DMA handle are examples of something that could be done in the constructor and destructor. See kmem_cache_create(9F) for additional restrictions on what actions can be performed in a constructor and destructor.

HBA drivers that implement tran_setup_pkt() must signal scsi_pkt(9S) completion by calling scsi_hba_pkt_comp(9F). Direct use of the scsi_pkt pkt_comp field is not permitted and results in undefined behavior.

Return Values

tran_setup_pkt() must return zero on success, and -1 on failure.
