.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBddi_dma_alloc_handle()\fR allocates a new  \fBDMA\fR handle. A  \fBDMA\fR
handle is an opaque object used as a reference to subsequently allocated
\fBDMA\fR resources.   \fBddi_dma_alloc_handle()\fR accepts as parameters the
device information referred to by  \fIdip\fR and the device's  \fBDMA\fR
attributes described by a \fBddi_dma_attr\fR(9S) structure. A successful call
to \fBddi_dma_alloc_handle()\fR fills in the value pointed to by
\fIhandlep\fR. A  \fBDMA\fR handle must only be used by the device for which it
was allocated and is only valid for one  I/O transaction at a time.
.sp
.LP
The callback function, \fIcallback\fR, indicates how a caller wants to handle
the possibility of resources not being available. If  \fIcallback\fR is set to
\fBDDI_DMA_DONTWAIT\fR, then the caller does not care if the allocation fails,
and can handle an allocation failure appropriately. If  \fIcallback\fR is set
to  \fBDDI_DMA_SLEEP\fR, then the caller wishes to have the allocation routines
wait for resources to become available. If any other value is set, and a
\fBDMA\fR resource allocation fails, this value is assumed to be a function to
call at a later time when resources may become available. When the specified
function is called, it is passed \fIarg\fR as an argument. The specified
callback function must return either \fBDDI_DMA_CALLBACK_RUNOUT\fR or
\fBDDI_DMA_CALLBACK_DONE\fR. \fBDDI_DMA_CALLBACK_RUNOUT\fR indicates that the
callback routine attempted to allocate \fBDMA\fR resources but failed to do so,
in which case the callback function is put back on a list to be called again
later.  \fBDDI_DMA_CALLBACK_DONE\fR indicates either success at allocating
\fBDMA\fR resources or the driver no longer wishes to retry.
.sp
.LP
The callback function is called in interrupt context. Therefore, only system
functions that are accessible from interrupt context  is available. The
callback function must take whatever steps necessary to protect its critical
resources, data structures, queues, and so forth.
.sp
.LP
When a  \fBDMA\fR handle is no longer needed, \fBddi_dma_free_handle\fR(9F)
must be called to free the handle.
.SH RETURN VALUES
\fBddi_dma_alloc_handle()\fR returns:

\fB\fBDDI_SUCCESS\fR\fR

\fB\fBDDI_DMA_BADATTR\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 23n

impossible for the system to allocate potential  \fBDMA\fR resources.

.SH CONTEXT
\fBddi_dma_alloc_handle()\fR can be called from user, kernel, or interrupt
context, except when \fIcallback\fR is set to  \fBDDI_DMA_SLEEP\fR, in which
case it can be called from user or kernel context only.
