I2O_MSG_GET(9) Message-based devices I2O_MSG_GET(9) NAME i2o_msg_get - obtain an I2O message from the IOP SYNOPSIS struct i2o_message * i2o_msg_get(struct i2o_controller * c); ARGUMENTS c I2O controller DESCRIPTION This function tries to get a message frame. If no message frame is available do not wait until one is availabe (see also i2o_msg_get_wait). The returned pointer to the message frame is not in I/O memory, it is allocated from a mempool. But because a MFA is allocated from the controller too it is guaranteed that i2o_msg_post will never fail. On a success a pointer to the message frame is returned. If the message queue is empty -EBUSY is returned and if no memory is available -ENOMEM is returned. COPYRIGHT Kernel Hackers Manual 2.6. November 2013 I2O_MSG_GET(9)[top]
