SCSI_TRANSPORT 9F "Jan 16, 2006"
NAME
scsi_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
illumos DDI specific (illumos 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 command the host adapter calls the completion routine provided by the target 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)\en", status);
}
