eisa_dma_get_buf - allocated DMA buffer descriptor
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.19. Last changed in IRIX 6.5.5.
NAME eisa_dma_get_buf - allocated DMA buffer descriptor SYNOPSIS #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/eisa.h> struct eisa_dma_buf *eisa_dma_get_buf(uchar_t mode); Arguments mode Specifies whether the caller is willing to sleep waiting for memory. If mode is set to EISA_DMA_SLEEP, the caller will sleep if necessary until the memory for a dma_buf() is available. If mode is set to EISA_DMA_NOSLEEP, the caller will not sleep, but eisa_dma_get_buf will return NULL if memory for a dma_buf(D4X) is not immediately available. DESCRIPTION eisa_dma_get_buf allocates memory for a DMA buffer descriptor (see eisa_dma_buf(), zeros it out, and returns a pointer to the structure. Return Values eisa_dma_get_buf returns a pointer to the allocated DMA control block. If EISA_DMA_NOSLEEP is specified and memory for a eisa_dma_buf() is not immediately available, eisa_dma_get_buf returns a NULL pointer. Level Base only if mode is set to EISA_DMA_SLEEP. Base or Interrupt if mode is set to EISA_DMA_NOSLEEP. Notes Can sleep if mode is set to DMA_SLEEP.
