#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/poll.h> #include <sys/ddi.h> #include <sys/sunddi.h> int prefixchpoll(dev_t dev, short events, int anyyet, short *reventsp, struct pollhead **phpp);
This entry point is optional. Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
dev
The device number for the device to be polled.
events
The events that may occur. Valid events are:
POLLIN
Data other than high priority data may be read without blocking.
POLLOUT
Normal data may be written without blocking.
POLLPRI
High priority data may be received without blocking.
POLLHUP
A device hangup has occurred.
POLLERR
An error has occurred on the device.
POLLRDNORM
Normal data (priority band = 0) may be read without blocking.
POLLRDBAND
Data from a non-zero priority band may be read without blocking
POLLWRNORM
The same as POLLOUT.
POLLWRBAND
Priority data (priority band > 0) may be written.
anyyet
A flag that is non-zero if any other file descriptors in the pollfd array have events pending. The poll(2) system call takes a pointer to an array of pollfd structures as one of its arguments. See the poll(2) reference page for more details.
reventsp
A pointer to a bitmask of the returned events satisfied.
phpp
A pointer to a pointer to a pollhead structure.
The chpoll() entry point routine is used by non-STREAMS character device drivers that wish to support polling. The driver must implement the polling discipline itself. The following rules must be followed when implementing the polling discipline:
1. Implement the following algorithm when the chpoll() entry point is called:
if (events_are_satisfied_now) {
*reventsp = satisfied_events & events;
} else {
*reventsp = 0;
if (!anyyet)
*phpp = &my_local_pollhead_structure;
}
return (0);
2. Allocate an instance of the pollhead structure. This instance may be tied to the per-minor data structure defined by the driver. The pollhead structure should be treated as a "black box" by the driver. Initialize the pollhead structure by filling it with zeroes. The size of this structure is guaranteed to remain the same across releases.
3. Call the pollwakeup() function with events listed above whenever pollable events which the driver should monitor occur. This function can be called with multiple events at one time. The pollwakup() can be called regardless of whether or not the chpoll() entry is called; it should be called every time the driver detects the pollable event. The driver must not hold any mutex across the call to pollwakeup(9F) that is acquired in its chpoll() entry point, or a deadlock may result.
chpoll() should return 0 for success, or the appropriate error number.
