Writing Device Drivers

attach(9E)

    int attach(dev_info_t *dip, ddi_attach_cmd_t cmd);

When power is restored to the system, each device with a reg property or with a pm-hardware-state property of value needs-suspend-resume has its attach(9E) entry point called with a command value of DDI_RESUME. If the system shutdown was aborted for some reason, each driver that was suspended is called to resume, even though the power has not been shut off. Consequently, the resume code in attach(9E) must make no assumptions about the state of the hardware; it may or may not have lost power.

The power management framework will consider the power level of the components to be unknown at DDI_RESUME time. Depending on the nature of the device, the driver writer has two choices:

Example 9-7 shows an example of an attach(9E) routine with the DDI_RESUME command.


Example 9-7 attach(9E) Routine Implementing DDI_RESUME

        instance = ddi_get_instance(dip);
        xsp = ddi_get_soft_state(statep, instance);

        switch (cmd) {
        case DDI_ATTACH:
        ...

        case DDI_RESUME:
                mutex_enter(&xsp->mu);
                if (xsp->xx_pm_state_saved) {

                         */

                 */
                for (i = 0; i < num_components; i++) {
                        xsp->xx_power_level[i] = xx_get_power_level(dip, i);
                        if (xsp->xx_power_level[i] != XX_LEVEL_UNKNOWN)

        default:
                return(DDI_FAILURE);
        }

Note -

The detach(9E) and attach(9E) interfaces may also be used to resume a system that has been quiesced.
