INTERFACE LEVEL

21       Solaris architecture specific (Solaris DDI).
22

PARAMETERS

24       dip         Pointer to a dev_info structure, defining  the  HBA  driver
25                   instance.
26
27
28       flag        Flag   modifiers.   The   only   possible   flag  value  is
29                   SCSI_HBA_CANSLEEP (memory allocation may sleep).
30
31
32       hba_tran    Pointer to a scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure.

DESCRIPTION

36       For scsi_hba_tran_alloc():
37
38
39       The  scsi_hba_tran_alloc()  function  allocates  a    scsi_hba_tran(9S)
40       structure for a HBA driver. The HBA must use this structure to register
41       its transport vectors with the  system  by  using  scsi_hba_attach_set‐
42       up(9F).
43
44
45       If  the  flag  SCSI_HBA_CANSLEEP is set in flags, scsi_hba_tran_alloc()
46       may sleep when allocating resources; otherwise it may  not  sleep,  and
47       callers should be prepared to deal with allocation failures.
48
49
50       For scsi_hba_tran_free():
51
52
53       The scsi_hba_tran_free() function is used to free the scsi_hba_tran(9S)
54       structure allocated by scsi_hba_tran_alloc().
55

RETURN VALUES

57       The scsi_hba_tran_alloc() function returns a pointer to  the  allocated
58       transport structure, or NULL if no space is available.
59

CONTEXT

61       The  scsi_hba_tran_alloc() function can be called from user, interrupt,
62       or kernel context. Drivers  must  not  allow  scsi_hba_tran_alloc()  to
63       sleep if called from an interrupt routine.
64
65
66       The  scsi_hba_tran_free()  function can be called from user, interrupt,
67       or kernel context context.
