Kernel Functions for Driversddi_device_copy(9F)


NAME

 ddi_device_copy - copy data from one device register to another device register

SYNOPSIS

 
#include <sys/ddi.h> 
#include <sys/sunddi.h>
int ddi_device_copy(ddi_acc_handle_t src_handle, caddr_t src_addr, ssize_t src_advcnt, ddi_acc_handle_t dest_handle, caddr_t dest_addr, ssize_t dest_advcnt, size_t bytecount, uint_t dev_datasz);

INTERFACE LEVEL

 

Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).


PARAMETERS

 
src_handle
The data access handle of the source device.
src_addr
Base data source address.
src_advcnt
Number of dev_datasz units to advance on every access.
dest_handle
The data access handle of the destination device.
dest_addr
Base data destination address.
dest_advcnt
Number of dev_datasz units to advance on every access.
bytecount
Number of bytes to transfer.
dev_datasz
The size of each data word. Possible values are defined as:
DDI_DATA_SZ01_ACC
1 byte data size
DDI_DATA_SZ02_ACC
2 bytes data size
DDI_DATA_SZ04_ACC
4 bytes data size
DDI_DATA_SZ08_ACC
8 bytes data size

DESCRIPTION

 

ddi_device_copy() copies bytecount bytes from the source address, src_addr, to the destination address, dest_addr. The attributes encoded in the access handles, src_handle and dest_handle, govern how data is actually copied from the source to the destination. Only matching data sizes between the source and destination are supported.

Data will automatically be translated to maintain a consistent view between the source and the destination. The translation may involve byte-swapping if the source and the destination devices have incompatible endian characteristics.

The src_advcnt and dest_advcnt arguments specifies the number of dev_datasz units to advance with each access to the device addresses. A value of 0 will use the same source and destination device address on every access. A positive value increments the corresponding device address by certain number of data size units in the next access. On the other hand, a negative value decrements the device address.

The dev_datasz argument determines the size of the data word on each access. The data size must be the same between the source and destination.


RETURN VALUES

 

ddi_device_copy() returns:

DDI_SUCCESS
Successfully transferred the data.
DDI_FAILURE
The byte count is not a multiple dev_datasz.

CONTEXT

 

ddi_device_copy() can be called from user, kernel, or interrupt context.
