AIX Version 4.3 Kernel and Subsystems Technical Reference, Volume 1

d_complete Kernel Service

Purpose

Cleans up after a direct memory access (DMA) transfer.

Syntax

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/errno.h>
#include <sys/dma.h>
#include <sys/xmem.h>
int d_complete 
(channel_id, flags, baddr, 
count, dp, daddr)
int channel_id;
int flags;
caddr_t baddr;
size_t count;
struct xmem *dp;
caddr_t daddr;

Parameters

channel_id Specifies the DMA channel identifier returned by the d_init service.
flags Describes the DMA transfer. The /usr/include/dma.h file describes these flags.
baddr Designates the address of the memory buffer.
count Specifies the length of the transfer in bytes.
dp Specifies the address of the cross-memory descriptor.
daddr Designates the address used to program the DMA master. A value of null is specified for DMA slaves.

Description

The d_complete kernel service completes the processing of a DMA transfer. It also indicates any DMA error detected by the system hardware. The d_complete service must be called after each DMA transfer.

The d_complete service performs machine-dependent processing, which entails:

"Understanding Direct Memory Access (DMA) Transfers" in AIX Kernel Extensions and Device Support Programming Concepts further describes DMA transfers.

Execution Environment

The d_complete kernel service can be called from either the process or interrupt environment.

Return Values

DMA_SUCC Indicates a successful completion.
DMA_INVALID Indicates an operation that is not valid. A load or store that was not valid was performed to the I/O bus.
DMA_LIMIT Indicates a limit check. A load or store to the I/O bus occurred that was not sufficiently authorized to access the I/O bus address.
DMA_NO_RESPONSE Indicates no response. No device responded to the I/O bus access.
DMA_CONFLICT Indicates an address conflict. A daddr parameter was specified to the d_master service for a system memory transfer, where this transfer conflicts with the bus memory address of an I/O bus device.
DMA_AUTHORITY Indicates an authority error. A protection exception occurred while accessing an I/O bus memory address.
DMA_PAGE_FAULT Indicates a page fault. A reference was made to a page not currently located in system memory.
DMA_BAD_ADDR Indicates an address that is not valid. A bus address that is not valid or was unsupported was used. A daddr parameter that was not valid was specified to the d_master service.
DMA_CHECK Indicates a channel check. A channel check was generated during the bus cycle. This typically occurs when a device detects a data parity error.
DMA_DATA Indicates a system-detected data parity error.
DMA_ADDRESS Indicates a system-detected address parity error.
DMA_EXTRA Indicates an extra request. This typically occurs when the count parameter was specified incorrectly to the d_slave service.
DMA_SYSTEM Indicates a system error. The system detected an internal error in system hardware. This is typically a parity error on an internal bus or register.

Implementation Specifics

The d_complete kernel service is part of Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
