DDI_INTR_GET_NINTRS(9F)DDI_INTR_GET_NINTRS(9F)NAME
ddi_intr_get_nintrs, ddi_intr_get_navail - return number of interrupts
supported or available for a given interrupt type
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
The ddi_intr_get_nintrs() function returns the number of interrupts of
the given type supported by a particular hardware device. On a success‐
ful return, the number of supported interrupts is returned as an inte‐
ger pointed to by the nintrsp argument.
If the hardware device is not found to support any interrupts of the
given type, the DDI_INTR_NOTFOUND failure is returned rather than a
zero in nintrsp.
The ddi_intr_get_navail() function returns the number of interrupts of
a given type that is available to a particular hardware device. On a
successful return, the number of available interrupts is returned as an
integer pointed to by navailp.
The hardware device may support more than one interrupt and can request
that all interrupts be allocated. The host software can then use pol‐
icy-based decisions to determine how many interrupts are made available
to the device. Based on the determination, a value is returned that
should be used to allocate interrupts with the ddi_intr_alloc() func‐
tion.
The ddi_intr_get_supported_types(9F) function returns a list of valid
supported types for the given hardware device. It must be called prior
to calling either the ddi_intr_get_nintrs() or ddi_intr_get_navail().
RETURN VALUES
The ddi_intr_get_nintrs() and ddi_intr_get_navail() functions return:
DDI_SUCCESS
On success.
DDI_EINVAL
On encountering invalid input parameters.
DDI_INTR_NOTFOUND
On not finding any interrupts for the given inter‐
rupt type.
DDI_FAILURE
On any implementation specific failure.
CONTEXT
The ddi_intr_get_nintrs() and ddi_intr_get_navail() functions can be
called from either user or kernel non-interrupt context.

Writing Device Drivers
NOTES
The ddi_intr_get_nintrs() and ddi_intr_get_navail() functions can be
called at any time, even if the driver has added an interrupt handler
for a given interrupt specification.
On x86 platforms, the number of interrupts returned by the
ddi_intr_get_navail() function might need to be further reduced by the
number of interrupts available for each interrupt priority on the sys‐
tem. In that case, drivers should use different priorities for some of
the interrupts.
Consumers of these interfaces should verify that the return value is
not equal to DDI_SUCCESS. Incomplete checking for failure codes could
result in inconsistent behavior among platforms.
