NAME

       scsi_hba_tran_alloc, scsi_hba_tran_free - allocate and free transport structures

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>

       scsi_hba_tran_t *scsi_hba_tran_alloc(dev_info_t *dip, int flags);

       void scsi_hba_tran_free(scsi_hba_tran_t *hba_tran);

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris architecture specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS

       dip	   Pointer to a dev_info structure, defining the HBA driver instance.

       flag	   Flag modifiers. The only possible flag value is SCSI_HBA_CANSLEEP (memory allocation may sleep).

       hba_tran    Pointer to a scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure.

DESCRIPTION

       For scsi_hba_tran_alloc():

       The  scsi_hba_tran_alloc()  function allocates a  scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure for a HBA driver. The HBA must use this structure to register
       its transport vectors with the system by using scsi_hba_attach_setup(9F).

       If the flag SCSI_HBA_CANSLEEP is set in flags, scsi_hba_tran_alloc() may sleep when allocating resources; otherwise it may not  sleep,  and
       callers should be prepared to deal with allocation failures.

       For scsi_hba_tran_free():

       The scsi_hba_tran_free() function is used to free the scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure allocated by scsi_hba_tran_alloc().

RETURN VALUES

       The scsi_hba_tran_alloc() function returns a pointer to the allocated transport structure, or NULL if no space is available.

CONTEXT

       The  scsi_hba_tran_alloc()  function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context. Drivers must not allow scsi_hba_tran_alloc() to
       sleep if called from an interrupt routine.

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

NAME

       tran_tgt_init - request to initialize HBA resources on behalf of a particular target

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>

       void prefixtran_tgt_init(dev_info_t *hba_dip, dev_info_t *tgt_dip, scsi_hba_tran_t *hba_tran, struct scsi_device *sd);

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris architecture specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS

       hba_dip	       Pointer to a  dev_info_t structure, referring to the HBA device instance.

       tgt_dip	       Pointer to a dev_info_t structure, referring to the target device instance.

       hba_tran        Pointer to a  scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure, consisting of the HBA's transport vectors.

       sd	       Pointer to a  scsi_device(9S) structure, describing the target.

DESCRIPTION

       The  tran_tgt_init()  vector  in  the  scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure may be initialized during the HBA driver's attach(9E) to point to an HBA
       driver function to be called by the system when an instance of a target device is  being  created.   The  tran_tgt_init()  vector,  if  not
       NULL,is	called	after  the  dev_info  node structure is created for this target device instance, but before probe(9E) for this instance is
       called. Before receiving transport requests from the target driver instance, the HBA may perform any initialization required for this  par-
       ticular target during the call of the tran_tgt_init() vector.

       Note that hba_tran will point to a cloned copy of the scsi_hba_tran_t structure allocated by the HBA driver if the SCSI_HBA_TRAN_CLONE flag
       was specified in the call to scsi_hba_attach(9F). In this case, the HBA driver may choose to initialize the tran_tgt_private field  in  the
       structure pointed to by hba_tran, to point to the data specific to the particular target device instance.

RETURN VALUES

       tran_tgt_init() must return:

       DDI_SUCCESS     the HBA driver can support the addressed target, and was able to initialize per-target resources.

       DDI_FAILURE     the  HBA  driver  cannot support the addressed target, or was unable to initialize per-target resources. In this event, the
		       initialization of this instance of the target device will not be continued, the	target	driver's  probe(9E)  will  not	be
		       called, and the tgt_dip structure destroyed.
