bp_mapin 9F "13 Sep 1992" "SunOS 5.11" "Kernel Functions for Drivers"
NAME
bp_mapin - allocate virtual address space
SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/buf.h>



void bp_mapin(struct buf *bp);
INTERFACE LEVEL

Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).

PARAMETERS

bp

Pointer to the buffer header structure.

DESCRIPTION

bp_mapin() is used to map virtual address space to a page list maintained by the buffer header during a paged- I/O request. bp_mapin() allocates system virtual address space, maps that space to the page list, and returns the starting address of the space in the bp->b_un.b_addr field of the buf(9S) structure. Virtual address space is then deallocated using the bp_mapout(9F) function.

If a null page list is encountered, bp_mapin() returns without allocating space and no mapping is performed.

CONTEXT

bp_mapin() can be called from user and kernel contexts.
