SCSI_TRANSPORT(9F)SCSI_TRANSPORT(9F)NAMEscsi_transport - request by a SCSI target driver to start a command
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>
int scsi_transport(struct scsi_pkt *pkt);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
PARAMETERS
pkt
Pointer to a scsi_pkt(9S) structure.
DESCRIPTION
Target drivers use scsi_transport() to request the host adapter driver
to transport a command to the SCSI target device specified by pkt. The
target driver must obtain resources for the packet using
scsi_init_pkt(9F) prior to calling this function. The packet may be
initialized using one of the makecom(9F) functions. scsi_transport()
does not wait for the SCSI command to complete. See scsi_poll(9F) for
a description of polled SCSI commands. Upon completion of the SCSI com‐
mand the host adapter calls the completion routine provided by the tar‐
get driver in the pkt_comp member of the scsi_pkt pointed to by pkt.
RETURN VALUES
The scsi_transport() function returns:
TRAN_ACCEPT
The packet was accepted by the transport layer.
TRAN_BUSY
The packet could not be accepted because there was
already a packet in progress for this target/lun,
the host adapter queue was full, or the target
device queue was full.
TRAN_BADPKT
The DMA count in the packet exceeded the DMA
engine's maximum DMA size.
TRAN_FATAL_ERROR
A fatal error has occurred in the transport layer.
CONTEXT
The scsi_transport() function can be called from user, interrupt, or
kernel context.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Using scsi_transport()
if ((status = scsi_transport(rqpkt)) != TRAN_ACCEPT) {
scsi_log(devp, sd_label, CE_WARN,
"transport of request sense pkt fails (0x%x)\n", status);
}
