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

NAME

mcopyout - Convert an M_IOCTL or M_IOCDATA message to an M_COPYOUT

SYNOPSIS

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

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

INTERFACE LEVEL

illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI).

PARAMETERS

mp
M_IOCTL or M_IOCDATA message.

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

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

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

dp
Optionally, the payload to copy out.

DESCRIPTION

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

To convert the message, mcopyout() changes the message type to
M_COPYOUT, 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, the M_IOCTL must be transparent and cq_addr is assigned the
pointer-sized quantity found at mp->b_cont->b_rptr.

If dp is not NULL, any trailing message blocks associated with mp are
freed, mp->b_cont is reset to dp and dp->b_wptr is set to dp->b_rptr
+ size. Otherwise, any trailing message blocks are unaffected.

RETURN VALUES

None.

CONTEXT

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