18 \fBbufcall_id_t\fR \fBbufcall\fR(\fBsize_t\fR \fIsize\fR, \fBuint_t\fR \fIpri\fR, \fBvoid \fR\fI*func\fRvoid \fI*arg\fR,
19 \fBvoid\fR \fI*arg\fR);
25 Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
33 Number of bytes required for the buffer.
42 Priority of the \fBallocb\fR(9F) allocation request (not used).
51 Function or driver routine to be called when a buffer becomes available.
60 Argument to the function to be called when a buffer becomes available.
66 The \fBbufcall()\fR function serves as a \fBtimeout\fR(9F) call of
67 indeterminate length. When a buffer allocation request fails, \fBbufcall()\fR
68 can be used to schedule the routine \fIfunc\fR, to be called with the argument
69 \fIarg\fR when a buffer becomes available. \fIfunc\fR may call \fBallocb()\fR
70 or it may do something else.
74 If successful, \fBbufcall()\fR returns a \fBbufcall\fR \fBID\fR that can be
75 used in a call to \fBunbufcall()\fR to cancel the request. If the
76 \fBbufcall()\fR scheduling fails, \fIfunc\fR is never called and \fB0\fR is
81 The \fBbufcall()\fR function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel
85 \fBExample 1 \fRCalling a function when a buffer becomes available:
88 The purpose of this \fBsrv\fR(9E) service routine is to add a header to all
89 \fBM_DATA\fR messages. Service routines must process all messages on their
90 queues before returning, or arrange to be rescheduled
94 While there are messages to be processed (line 13), check to see if it is a
95 high priority message or a normal priority message that can be sent on (line
96 14). Normal priority message that cannot be sent are put back on the message
97 queue (line 34). If the message was a high priority one, or if it was normal
98 priority and \fBcanputnext\fR(9F) succeeded, then send all but \fBM_DATA\fR
99 messages to the next module with \fBputnext\fR(9F) (line 16).
103 For \fBM_DATA\fR messages, try to allocate a buffer large enough to hold the
104 header (line 18). If no such buffer is available, the service routine must be
105 rescheduled for a time when a buffer is available. The original message is put
106 back on the queue (line 20) and \fBbufcall\fR (line 21) is used to attempt the
107 rescheduling. It will succeed if the rescheduling succeeds, indicating that
108 qenable will be called subsequently with the argument \fIq\fR once a buffer of
109 the specified size (\fBsizeof (struct hdr)\fR) becomes available. If it does,
110 \fBqenable\fR(9F) will put \fIq\fR on the list of queues to have their service
111 routines called. If \fBbufcall()\fR fails, \fBtimeout\fR(9F) (line 22) is used
112 to try again in about a half second.
116 If the buffer allocation was successful, initialize the header (lines 25-28),
117 make the message type \fBM_PROTO\fR (line 29), link the \fBM_DATA\fR message to
118 it (line 30), and pass it on (line 31).
122 Note that this example ignores the bookkeeping needed to handle \fBbufcall()\fR
123 and \fBtimeout\fR(9F) cancellation for ones that are still outstanding at close

188 Even when \fIfunc\fR is called by \fBbufcall()\fR, \fBallocb\fR(9F) can fail if
189 another module or driver had allocated the memory before \fIfunc\fR was able to
190 call \fBallocb\fR(9F).
