tran_sync_pkt(9E)	      Driver Entry Points	     tran_sync_pkt(9E)

NAME
       tran_sync_pkt - SCSI HBA memory synchronization entry point

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>

       void   prefixtran_sync_pkt(struct  scsi_address	*ap,  struct  scsi_pkt
       *pkt);

INTERFACE LEVEL
       Solaris architecture specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS
       ap	A pointer to a scsi_address(9S) structure.

       pkt	A pointer to a scsi_pkt(9S) structure.

DESCRIPTION
       The tran_sync_pkt() vector in the scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure  must  be
       initialized  during  the	 HBA  driver's	attach(9E)  to point to an HBA
       driver  entry  point  to	 be  called  when  a   target	driver	 calls
       scsi_sync_pkt(9F).

       tran_sync_pkt()	must  synchronize a HBA's or device's view of the data
       associated with the pkt, typically  by  calling	ddi_dma_sync(9F).  The
       operation  may  also  involve  HBA  hardware-specific  details, such as
       flushing I/O caches, or	stalling  until	 hardware  buffers  have  been
       drained.

SEE ALSO
       attach(9E),  tran_init_pkt(9E),	ddi_dma_sync(9F), scsi_hba_attach(9F),
       scsi_init_pkt(9F),	  scsi_sync_pkt(9F),	     scsi_address(9S),
       scsi_hba_tran(9S), scsi_pkt(9S)

       Writing Device Drivers

NOTES
       A  target  driver  may call tran_sync_pkt() on packets for which no DMA
       resources were allocated.
