I2O_MSG_GET(9)						       Message-based devices						    I2O_MSG_GET(9)

NAME

       i2o_msg_get - obtain an I2O message from the IOP

SYNOPSIS

       struct i2o_message * i2o_msg_get(struct i2o_controller * c);

ARGUMENTS

       c
	   I2O controller

DESCRIPTION

       This function tries to get a message frame. If no message frame is available do not wait until one is available (see also
       i2o_msg_get_wait). The returned pointer to the message frame is not in I/O memory, it is allocated from a mempool. But because a MFA is
       allocated from the controller too it is guaranteed that i2o_msg_post will never fail.

       On a success a pointer to the message frame is returned. If the message queue is empty -EBUSY is returned and if no memory is available
       -ENOMEM is returned.

MEMBERS

       dev
	   device interface to this driver

       bus_num
	   board-specific (and often SOC-specific) identifier for a given SPI controller.

       num_chipselect
	   chipselects are used to distinguish individual SPI slaves, and are numbered from zero to num_chipselects. each slave has a chipselect
	   signal, but it's common that not every chipselect is connected to a slave.

       dma_alignment
	   SPI controller constraint on DMA buffers alignment.

       mode_bits
	   flags understood by this controller driver

       flags
	   other constraints relevant to this driver

       setup
	   updates the device mode and clocking records used by a device's SPI controller; protocol code may call this. This must fail if an
	   unrecognized or unsupported mode is requested. It's always safe to call this unless transfers are pending on the device whose settings
	   are being modified.

       transfer
	   adds a message to the controller's transfer queue.

       cleanup
	   frees controller-specific state

DESCRIPTION

       Each SPI master controller can communicate with one or more spi_device children. These make a small bus, sharing MOSI, MISO and SCK signals
       but not chip select signals. Each device may be configured to use a different clock rate, since those shared signals are ignored unless the
       chip is selected.

       The driver for an SPI controller manages access to those devices through a queue of spi_message transactions, copying data between CPU
       memory and an SPI slave device. For each such message it queues, it calls the message's completion function when the transaction completes.
