All,

Would like to know if this change could negatively impact our system. What test should we run to... (2 Replies)

ddi_getiminor
ddi_getiminor(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers ddi_getiminor(9F)
NAME
ddi_getiminor - get kernel internal minor number from an external dev_t
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/mkdev.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
minor_t ddi_getiminor(dev_t dev);
INTERFACE LEVEL
This interface is obsolete. getminor(9F) should be used instead.
PARAMETERS
The following parameters are supported:
dev
Device number.
DESCRIPTION
ddi_getiminor() extracts the minor number from a device number. This call should be used only for device numbers that have been passed to
the kernel from the user space through opaque interfaces such as the contents of ioctl(9E) and putmsg(2). The device numbers passed in
using standard device entry points must continue to be interpreted using the getminor(9F) interface. This new interface is used to trans-
late between user visible device numbers and in kernel device numbers. The two numbers may differ in a clustered system.
For certain bus types, you can call this DDI function from a high-interrupt context. These types include ISA and SBus buses. See sys-
bus(4), isa(4), and sbus(4) for details.
CONTEXT
ddi_getiminor() can be called from user context only.
RETURN VALUES
The minor number or EMINOR_UNKNOWN if the minor number of the device is invalid.
ATTRIBUTES

WARNINGS
Drivers are required to replace calls to ddi_getminor.9f by getminor(9F)) in order to compile under Solaris 10 and later versions.
