 tran_sync_pkt 9E "1 Nov 1993" "SunOS 5.11" "Driver Entry Points"
 NAME
tran_sync_pkt - SCSI HBA memory synchronization entry point
 SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>


void prefixtran_sync_pkt(struct scsi_address *ap,
 struct scsi_pkt *pkt);


 INTERFACE LEVEL

Solaris architecture specific (Solaris DDI).
 PARAMETERS

ap

A pointer to a scsi_address(9S) structure.


pkt

A pointer to a scsi_pkt(9S) structure.


 DESCRIPTION

The tran_sync_pkt() vector in the scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure must
be initialized during the HBA driver's attach(9E) to point to an
HBA driver entry point to be called when a target driver calls
scsi_sync_pkt(9F).

tran_sync_pkt() must synchronize a HBA's or device's view of the
data associated with the pkt, typically by calling
ddi_dma_sync(9F). The operation may also involve HBA
hardware-specific details, such as flushing I/O caches, or stalling
until hardware buffers have been drained.

 NOTES

A target driver may call tran_sync_pkt() on packets for which no
DMA resources were allocated.
