TRAN_TGT_PROBE(9E) Driver Entry Points TRAN_TGT_PROBE(9E)

NAME

tran_tgt_probe - request to probe SCSI bus for a particular target

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>


int prefixtran_tgt_probe(struct scsi_device *sd, int (*waitfunc,
void)););

INTERFACE LEVEL

illumos architecture specific (illumos DDI).

PARAMETERS

sd
Pointer to a scsi_device(9S) structure.


waitfunc
Pointer to either NULL_FUNC or SLEEP_FUNC.

DESCRIPTION

The tran_tgt_probe() vector in the scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure may be
initialized during the HBA driver's attach(9E) to point to a function
to be called by scsi_probe(9F) when called by a target driver during
probe(9E) and attach(9E) to probe for a particular SCSI target on the
bus. In the absence of an HBA-specific tran_tgt_probe() function, the
default scsi_probe(9F) behavior is supplied by the function
scsi_hba_probe(9F).


The possible choices the HBA driver may make are:

o Initialize the tran_tgt_probe vector to point to
scsi_hba_probe(9F), which results in the same behavior.

o Initialize the tran_tgt_probe vector to point to a private
function in the HBA, which may call scsi_hba_probe(9F)
before or after any necessary processing, as long as all
the defined scsi_probe(9F) semantics are preserved.


waitfunc indicates what tran_tgt_probe() should do when resources are
not available:

NULL_FUNC
Do not wait for resources. See scsi_probe(9F) for
defined return values if no resources are available.


SLEEP_FUNC
Wait indefinitely for resources.
