Kernel Functions for Driversesbbcall(9F)


NAME

 esbbcall - call function when buffer is available

SYNOPSIS

 
#include <sys/stream.h> 
bufcall_id_t esbbcall(uint_t pri, void (*func)(void *arg), void (arg));

INTERFACE LEVEL

 

Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).

PARAMETERS

 
pri
Priority of allocation request (to be used by allocb(9F) function, called by esbbcall())
func
Function to be called when buffer becomes available.
arg
Argument to func.

DESCRIPTION

 

esbbcall(), like bufcall(9F), serves as a timeout(9F) call of indeterminate length. If esballoc(9F) is unable to allocate a message and data block header to go with its externally supplied data buffer, esbbcall() can be used to schedule the routine func, to be called with the argument arg when a buffer becomes available. func may be a routine that calls esballoc(9F) or it may be another kernel function.

RETURN VALUES

 

On success, a bufcall IDis returned. On failure, 0 is returned. The value returned from a successful call should be saved for possible future use with unbufcall() should it become necessary to cancel the esbbcall() request (as at driver close time).

CONTEXT

 

esbbcall() can be called from user or interrupt context.
