31 Pointer to the \fBdev_info\fR structure.
40 Number of interrupts requested.
46 The \fBddi_intr_set_nreq()\fR function changes the number of interrupts
47 requested by a device driver instance.
50 The \fInreq\fR parameter is the total number of interrupt resources that this
51 instance of the device driver would like to have available. The \fInreq\fR
52 parameter includes any interrupt resources already allocated by the driver. For
53 example, if the driver instance already has two MSI-X vectors and it wants two
54 more, it should call this function with an \fInreq\fR parameter set to four.
57 The \fInreq\fR parameter can be any value between one and the maximum number of
58 interrupts supported by the device hardware, as reported by a call to the
59 \fBddi_intr_get_nintrs\fR(9F) function. The driver receives a callback
60 notifying it in cases when it must release any previously allocated interrupts,
61 or when it is allowed to allocate more interrupts as a result of its new
65 The \fBddi_intr_set_nreq()\fRfunction is not supported unless a driver is
66 already consuming interrupts, and if it has a registered callback handler that
67 can process actions related to changes in interrupt availability. See
68 \fBddi_cb_register\fR(9F) for an explanation on how to enable this
73 The \fBddi_intr_set_nreq()\fR function returns:
77 \fB\fBDDI_SUCCESS\fR\fR
86 \fB\fBDDI_EINVAL\fR\fR
89 The operation is invalid because the \fInreq\fR parameter is not a legal value
95 \fB\fBDDI_ENOTSUP\fR\fR
98 The operation is not supported. The driver must have a registered callback, and
99 the system must have interrupt pools implemented.

114 These functions can be called from kernel, non-interrupt context.

141 The Interrupt Resource Management feature is limited to device driver instances
142 that are using MSI-X interrupts (interrupt type \fBDDI_INTR_TYPE_MSIX\fR).

147 The total number of interrupts requested by the driver is initially defined by
148 the \fIcount\fR parameter provided by the driver's first call to the
149 \fBddi_intr_alloc\fR(9F) function, specifically during the driver instance's
150 \fBattach\fR(9E) routine. The \fBddi_intr_set_nreq()\fR function is only used
151 if the driver instance experiences changes in its I/O load. In response to
152 increased I/O load, the driver may want to request additional interrupt
153 resources. In response to diminished I/O load. the driver may volunteer to
154 return extra interrupt resources back to the system.
