SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/conf.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
#include <sys/sunddi.h>
int ddi_intr_dup_handler(ddi_intr_handle_t primary, int vector,


     ddi_intr_handle_t *new);

INTERFACE LEVEL

illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI).

PARAMETERS

primary

Original DDI interrupt handle

Interrupt number to duplicate

new

Pointer to new DDI interrupt handle

DESCRIPTION

The ddi_intr_dup_handler() function is a feature for MSI-X interrupts that allows an unallocated interrupt vector of a device to use a previously initialized or added primary MSI-X interrupt vector in order to share the same vector address, vector data, interrupt handler, and handler arguments. This feature allows a driver to alias the resources provided by the illumos Operating System to the unallocated interrupt vectors on an associated device. For example, if 2 MSI-X interrupts were allocated to a driver and 32 interrupts were supported on the device, the driver could alias the 2 interrupts it received to the 30 remaining on the device.

The ddi_intr_dup_handler() function must be called after the primary interrupt handle has been added to the system or enabled by ddi_intr_add_handler(9F) and ddi_intr_enable(9F) calls, respectively. If successful, the function returns the new interrupt handle for a given vector in the new argument passed to the function. The new interrupt handle must not have been previously allocated with ddi_intr_alloc(9F). Otherwise, the ddi_intr_dup_handler() call will fail.

The only supported calls on dup-ed interrupt handles are ddi_intr_set_mask(9F), ddi_intr_clr_mask(9F), ddi_intr_get_pending(9F), ddi_intr_enable(9F), ddi_intr_disable(9F), and ddi_intr_free(9F).

A call to ddi_intr_dup_handler() does not imply that the interrupt source is automatically enabled. Initially, the dup-ed handle is in the disabled state and must be enabled before it can be used by calling ddi_intr_enable(). Likewise, ddi_intr_disable() must be called to disable the enabled dup-ed interrupt source.

A dup-ed interrupt is removed by calling ddi_intr_free() after it has been disabled. The ddi_intr_remove_handler(9F) call is not required for a dup-ed handle.

Before removing the original MSI-X interrupt handler, all dup-ed interrupt handlers associated with this MSI-X interrupt must have been disabled and freed. Otherwise, calls to ddi_intr_remove_handler() will fail with DDI_FAILURE.

See the EXAMPLES section for code that illustrates the use of the ddi_intr_dup_handler() function.

RETURN VALUES

The ddi_intr_dup_handler() function returns:

DDI_SUCCESS

On success.

Note that the interface should be verified to ensure that the return value is not equal to DDI_SUCCESS. Incomplete checking for failure codes could result in inconsistent behavior among platforms.

DDI_EINVAL

On encountering invalid input parameters. DDI_EINVAL is also returned if a dup is attempted from a dup-ed interrupt or if the hardware device is found not to support MSI-X interrupts.

DDI_FAILURE

On any implementation specific failure.
