ddi_dma_movwin(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers ddi_dma_movwin(9F)NAMEddi_dma_movwin - shift current DMA window
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/ddi.h>
#include <sys/sunddi.h>
int ddi_dma_movwin(ddi_dma_handle_t handle, off_t *offp, uint_t *lenp,
ddi_dma_cookie_t *cookiep);
INTERFACE LEVEL
This interface is obsolete. ddi_dma_getwin(9F) should be used instead.
PARAMETERS
handle The DMA handle filled in by a call to ddi_dma_set‐
up(9F).
offp A pointer to an offset to set the DMA window to. Upon a
successful return, it will be filled in with the new
offset from the beginning of the object resources are
allocated for.
lenp A pointer to a value which must either be the current
size of the DMA window (as known from a call to
ddi_dma_curwin(9F) or from a previous call to
ddi_dma_movwin()). Upon a successful return, it will be
filled in with the size, in bytes, of the current win‐
dow.
cookiep A pointer to a DMA cookie (see ddi_dma_cookie(9S)).
Upon a successful return, cookiep is filled in just as
if an implicit ddi_dma_htoc(9F) had been made.
DESCRIPTION
The ddi_dma_movwin() function shifts the current DMA window. If a DMA
request allows the system to allocate resources for less than the
entire object by setting the DDI_DMA_PARTIAL flag in the
ddi_dma_req(9S) structure, the current DMA window can be shifted by a
call to ddi_dma_movwin().
The caller must first determine the current DMA window size by a call
to ddi_dma_curwin(9F). Using the current offset and size of the window
thus retrieved, the caller of ddi_dma_movwin() may change the window
onto the object by changing the offset by a value which is some multi‐
ple of the size of the DMA window.
The ddi_dma_movwin() function takes care of underlying resource syn‐
chronizations required to shift the window. However, if you want to
access the data prior to or after moving the window, further synchro‐
nizations using ddi_dma_sync(9F) are required.
This function is normally called from an interrupt routine. The first
invocation of the DMA engine is done from the driver. All subsequent
invocations of the DMA engine are done from the interrupt routine. The
interrupt routine checks to see if the request has been completed. If
it has, it returns without invoking another DMA transfer. Otherwise it
calls ddi_dma_movwin() to shift the current window and starts another
DMA transfer.
RETURN VALUES
The ddi_dma_movwin() function returns:
DDI_SUCCESS The current length and offset are legal and have been
set.
DDI_FAILURE Otherwise.
CONTEXT
The ddi_dma_movwin() function can be called from user, interrupt, or
kernel context.
