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.
size_t b_bcount; /* was type unsigned int */ size_t b_resid; /* was type unsigned int */ size_t b_bufsize; /* was type long */
The fields changed here pertain to transfer size, which can now exceed more than 4 Gbytes.
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.
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 it. The size has
been redefined as size_t
.
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.
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, they have been redefined as 32-bit integers. The data transfer size pkt_resid field does grow and has been redefined as ssize_t
.
