It is used by some \fBSCSI \fRcommands such as +\fBREQUEST_SENSE\fR, which involve a small amount of data and require +cache-consistent memory for proper operation. It uses \fBddi_iopb_alloc\fR(9F) +for allocating the data area and \fBscsi_resalloc\fR(9F) to allocate the packet +and \fBDMA\fR resources. +.sp +.LP +\fIcallback\fR indicates what \fBget_pktiopb()\fR should do when resources are +not available: +.sp +.ne 2 +.mk +.na +\fB\fBNULL_FUNC\fR\fR +.ad +.RS 16n +.rt +Do not wait for resources.

Otherwise, it can be called from user, interrupt, +or kernel context. The \fIcallback\fR function should not block or call +routines that block. +.sp +.LP +The \fBfree_pktiopb()\fR function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel +context. +.SH ATTRIBUTES +.sp +.LP +See \fBattributes\fR(5) for a description of the following attributes: +.sp + +.sp +.TS +tab() box; +cw(2.75i) |cw(2.75i) +lw(2.75i) |lw(2.75i) +. +\fBATTRIBUTE TYPE\fR\fBATTRIBUTE VALUE\fR +_ +Stability LevelObsolete +.TE + +.SH SEE ALSO +.sp +.LP +\fBattributes\fR(5), \fBddi_iopb_alloc\fR(9F), +\fBscsi_alloc_consistent_buf\fR(9F), \fBscsi_free_consistent_buf\fR(9F), +\fBscsi_pktalloc\fR(9F), \fBscsi_resalloc\fR(9F), \fBscsi_pkt\fR(9S) +.sp +.LP +\fIWriting Device Drivers\fR +.SH NOTES +.sp +.LP +The \fBget_pktiopb()\fR and \fBfree_pktiopb()\fR functions are obsolete and +will be discontinued in a future release. These functions have been replaced +by, respectively, \fBscsi_alloc_consistent_buf\fR(9F) and +\fBscsi_free_consistent_buf\fR(9F). +.sp +.LP +The \fBget_pktiopb()\fR function uses scarce resources. For this reason and its +obsolescence (see above), its use is discouraged. |
