devmap_set_ctx_timeout(9F)				   Kernel Functions for Drivers 				devmap_set_ctx_timeout(9F)

NAME

       devmap_set_ctx_timeout - set the timeout value for the context management callback

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/ddi.h>
       #include <sys/sunddi.h>

       void devmap_set_ctx_timeout(devmap_cookie_t dhp, clock_t ticks);

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS

       dhp	An opaque mapping handle that the system uses to describe the mapping.

       ticks	Number of clock ticks to wait between successive calls to the context management callback function.

DESCRIPTION

       The  devmap_set_ctx_timeout()  function specifies the time interval for the system to wait between successive calls to the driver's context
       management callback function, devmap_contextmgt(9E).

       Device drivers typically call devmap_set_ctx_timeout() in the devmap_map(9E) routine. If the drivers do not  call  devmap_set_ctx_timeout()
       to  set	the  timeout  value,  the  default timeout value of 0 will result in no delay between successive calls to the driver's devmap_con-
       textmgt(9E) callback function.

CONTEXT

       The devmap_set_ctx_timeout() function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context.
