    NAME

    ddi_iopb_alloc, ddi_iopb_free - allocate and free non-sequentially accessed memory
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

    #include <sys/ddi.h>
    #include <sys/sunddi.h>
    
    int ddi_iopb_alloc(dev_info_t *dip, ddi_dma_lim_t *limits, 
        uint_t length, caddr_t *iopbp);
    

    void ddi_iopb_free(caddr_t iopb);
    

     

    INTERFACE LEVEL

    These interfaces are obsolete. Use ddi_dma_mem_alloc(9F) instead of ddi_iopb_alloc(). Use ddi_dma_mem_free(9F) instead of ddi_iopb_free().  

    PARAMETERS

     

    ddi_iopb_alloc()

    dip

    A pointer to the device's dev_info structure.

    limits

    A pointer to a DMA limits structure for this device (see ddi_dma_lim_sparc(9S) or ddi_dma_lim_x86(9S)). If this pointer is NULL, a default set of DMA limits is assumed.

    length

    The length in bytes of the desired allocation.

    iopbp

    A pointer to a caddr_t. On a successful return, *iopbp points to the allocated storage.

     

    ddi_iopb_free()

    iopb

    The iopb returned from a successful call to ddi_iopb_alloc().

     

    DESCRIPTION

    The ddi_iopb_alloc() function allocates memory for DMA transfers and should be used if the device accesses memory in a non-sequential fashion, or if synchronization steps using ddi_dma_sync(9F) should be as lightweight as possible, due to frequent use on small objects. This type of access is commonly known as consistent access. The allocation will obey the alignment and padding constraints as specified in the limits argument and other limits imposed by the system.

    Note that you still must use DMA resource allocation functions (see ddi_dma_setup(9F)) to establish DMA resources for the memory allocated using ddi_iopb_alloc().

    In order to make the view of a memory object shared between a CPU and a DMA device consistent, explicit synchronization steps using ddi_dma_sync(9F) or ddi_dma_free(9F) are still required. The DMA resources will be allocated so that these synchronization steps are as efficient as possible.

    The ddi_iopb_free() function frees up memory allocated by ddi_iopb_alloc().  

    RETURN VALUES

    The ddi_iopb_alloc() function returns:

    DDI_SUCCESS

    Memory successfully allocated.

    DDI_FAILURE

    Allocation failed.

     

    CONTEXT

    These functions can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context.

    NOTES

    This function uses scarce system resources. Use it selectively.
