SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/conf.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
#include <sys/sunddi.h>
int ddi_intr_dup_handler(ddi_intr_handle_t primary, int vector,
ddi_intr_handle_t *new);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
PARAMETERS
primary Original DDI interrupt handle
vector Interrupt number to duplicate
new Pointer to new DDI interrupt handle
DESCRIPTION
The ddi_intr_dup_handler() function is a feature for MSI-X interrupts that allows an unallocated interrupt vector of a device to use a pre-
viously initialized or added primary MSI-X interrupt vector in order to share the same vector address, vector data, interrupt handler, and
handler arguments. This feature allows a driver to alias the resources provided by the Solaris Operating System to the unallocated inter-
rupt vectors on an associated device. For example, if 2 MSI-X interrupts were allocated to a driver and 32 interrupts were supported on the
device, the driver could alias the 2 interrupts it received to the 30 remaining on the device.
The ddi_intr_dup_handler() function must be called after the primary interrupt handle has been added to the system or enabled by
ddi_intr_add_handler(9F) and ddi_intr_enable(9F) calls, respectively. If successful, the function returns the new interrupt handle for a
given vector in the new argument passed to the function. The new interrupt handle must not have been previously allocated with
ddi_intr_alloc(9F). Otherwise, the ddi_intr_dup_handler() call will fail.
The only supported calls on dup-ed interrupt handles are ddi_intr_set_mask(9F), ddi_intr_clr_mask(9F), ddi_intr_get_pending(9F),
ddi_intr_enable(9F), ddi_intr_disable(9F), and ddi_intr_free(9F).
A call to ddi_intr_dup_handler() does not imply that the interrupt source is automatically enabled. Initially, the dup-ed handle is in the
disabled state and must be enabled before it can be used by calling ddi_intr_enable(). Likewise, ddi_intr_disable() must be called to dis-
able the enabled dup-ed interrupt source.
A dup-ed interrupt is removed by calling ddi_intr_free() after it has been disabled. The ddi_intr_remove_handler(9F) call is not required
for a dup-ed handle.
Before removing the original MSI-X interrupt handler, all dup-ed interrupt handlers associated with this MSI-X interrupt must have been
disabled and freed. Otherwise, calls to ddi_intr_remove_handler() will fail with DDI_FAILURE.
See the EXAMPLES section for code that illustrates the use of the ddi_intr_dup_handler() function.
RETURN VALUES
The ddi_intr_dup_handler() function returns:
DDI_SUCCESS On success.
Note that the interface should be verified to ensure that the return value is not equal to DDI_SUCCESS. Incomplete checking
for failure codes could result in inconsistent behavior among platforms.
DDI_EINVAL On encountering invalid input parameters. DDI_EINVAL is also returned if a dup is attempted from a dup-ed interrupt or if
the hardware device is found not to support MSI-X interrupts.
DDI_FAILURE On any implementation specific failure.
