Check Changed Fields in DDI Data Structures

The data types of some of the fields within DDI data structures, such as buf(9S), have been changed. Drivers that use these data structures should make sure that these fields are being used appropriately. The data structures and the fields that were changed in a significant way are listed below.

buf Structure Changes

The fields listed below pertain to transfer size, which can now exceed more than 4 Gbytes.

size_t        b_bcount;          /* was type unsigned int */
size_t        b_resid;           /* was type unsigned int */
size_t        b_bufsize;         /* was type long */

ddi_dma_attr

The ddi_dma_attr(9S) structure defines attributes of the DMA engine and the device. Because these attributes specify register sizes, fixed-width data types have been used instead of fundamental types.

ddi_dma_cookie Structure Changes

uint32_t     dmac_address;    /* was type unsigned long */
size_t       dmac_size;       /* was type u_int */

The ddi_dma_cookie(9S) structure contains a 32-bit DMA address, so a fixed-width data type has been used to define the address. The size has been redefined as size_t.

csi_arq_status Structure Changes

uint_t    sts_rqpkt_state;         /* was type u_long */
uint_t    sts_rqpkt_statistics;    /* was type u_long */

These fields in the structure do not need to grow and have been redefined as 32-bit quantities.

scsi_pkt Structure Changes

uint_t      pkt_flags;           /* was type u_long */
int     pkt_time;        /* was type long */
ssize_t     pkt_resid;           /* was type long */
uint_t      pkt_state;           /* was type u_long */
uint_t      pkt_statistics;      /* was type u_long */

Because the pkt_flags, pkt_state, and pkt_statistics fields in the scsi_pkt(9S) structure do not need to grow, these fields have been redefined as 32-bit integers. The data transfer size pkt_resid field does grow and has been redefined as ssize_t.
