MCOPYIN(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers MCOPYIN(9F)

NAME

mcopyin - Convert an M_IOCTL or M_IOCDATA message to an M_COPYIN

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/stream.h>
#include <sys/strsun.h>


void mcopyin(mblk_t *mp, void *private, size_t size,
void * useraddr);

INTERFACE LEVEL

illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI).

PARAMETERS

mp
M_IOCTL or M_IOCDATA message.


private
Value to which the cq_private field of copyreq(9S) is
set.


size
Value to which the cq_size field of copyreq(9S) is set.


useraddr
Optionally, the value to which the cq_addr field of
copyreq(9S) is set.

DESCRIPTION

The mcopyin() function converts an M_IOCTL or M_IOCDATA message into
an M_COPYIN message using the supplied arguments.


To convert the message, mcopyin() changes the message type to
M_COPYIN, and its payload from a iocblk(9S) to a copyreq(9S). Since
the iocblk(9S) and copyreq(9S) are designed to overlay one another,
the only fields which must be updated are cq_private, cq_size, and
cq_addr, which are set to the supplied values. If useraddr is passed
as NULL, mp must be a transparent M_IOCTL, and cq_addr is assigned
the pointer-sized quantity found at mp->b_cont->b_rptr.


Any trailing message blocks associated with mp are freed.

RETURN VALUES

None.

CONTEXT

This function can be called from user, kernel or interrupt context.
