I2O_DEVICE_CLAIM(9)					       Message-based devices					       I2O_DEVICE_CLAIM(9)

NAME

       i2o_device_claim - claim a device for use by an OSM

SYNOPSIS

       int i2o_device_claim(struct i2o_device * dev);

ARGUMENTS

       dev
	   I2O device to claim

DESCRIPTION

       Do the leg work to assign a device to a given OSM. If the claim succeeds, the owner is the primary. If the attempt fails a negative errno
       code is returned. On success zero is returned.

NAME

       device_schedule_callback_owner - helper to schedule a callback for a device

SYNOPSIS

       int device_schedule_callback_owner(struct device * dev, void (*func) (struct device *), struct module * owner);

ARGUMENTS

       dev
	   device.

       func
	   callback function to invoke later.

       owner
	   module owning the callback routine

DESCRIPTION

       Attribute methods must not unregister themselves or their parent device (which would amount to the same thing). Attempts to do so will
       deadlock, since unregistration is mutually exclusive with driver callbacks.

       Instead methods can call this routine, which will attempt to allocate and schedule a workqueue request to call back func with dev as its
       argument in the workqueue's process context.  dev will be pinned until func returns.

       This routine is usually called via the inline device_schedule_callback, which automatically sets owner to THIS_MODULE.

       Returns 0 if the request was submitted, -ENOMEM if storage could not be allocated, -ENODEV if a reference to owner isn't available.

NOTE

       This routine won't work if CONFIG_SYSFS isn't set! It uses an underlying sysfs routine (since it is intended for use by attribute methods),
       and if sysfs isn't available you'll get nothing but -ENOSYS.
