NAME
ddi_removing_power - check whether DDI_SUSPEND might result in power being removed from a device SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/ddi.h> #include <sys/sunddi.h> int ddi_removing_power(dev_info_t *dip); INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI) DESCRIPTION
The ddi_removing_power() function indicates whether a currently pending call into a driver's detach(9E) entry point with a command of DDI_SUSPEND is likely to result in power being removed from the device. ddi_removing_power() can return true and power still not be removed from the device due to a failure to suspend and power off the system. PARAMETERS
The ddi_removing_power() function supports the following parameter: dip pointer to the device's dev_info structure RETURN VALUES
The ddi_removing_power() function returns: 1 Power might be removed by the framework as a result of the pending DDI_SUSPEND call. 0 Power will not be removed by the framework as a result of the pending DDI_SUSPEND call. EXAMPLES
Example 1 Protecting a Tape from Abrupt Power Removal A tape driver that has hardware that would damage the tape if power is removed might include this code in its detach(9E) code: int xxdetach(dev_info_t *dip, ddi_detach_cmd_t cmd) { ... case DDI_SUSPEND: /* * We do not allow DDI_SUSPEND if power will be removed and * we have a device that damages tape when power is removed * We do support DDI_SUSPEND for Device Reconfiguration, * however. */ if (ddi_removing_power(dip) && xxdamages_tape(dip)) return (DDI_FAILURE); ...
