^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 33) Description
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 34) ===========
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 35)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36) This ioctl is used to initiate a memory mapped or DMABUF based demux I/O.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 37)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 38) Memory mapped buffers are located in device memory and must be allocated
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 39) with this ioctl before they can be mapped into the application's address
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 40) space. User buffers are allocated by applications themselves, and this
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 41) ioctl is merely used to switch the driver into user pointer I/O mode and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 42) to setup some internal structures. Similarly, DMABUF buffers are
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 43) allocated by applications through a device driver, and this ioctl only
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 44) configures the driver into DMABUF I/O mode without performing any direct
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 45) allocation.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 46)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 47) To allocate device buffers applications initialize all fields of the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 48) struct :c:type:`dmx_requestbuffers` structure. They set the ``count`` field
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 49) to the desired number of buffers, and ``size`` to the size of each
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 50) buffer.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 51)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 52) When the ioctl is called with a pointer to this structure, the driver will
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 53) attempt to allocate the requested number of buffers and it stores the actual
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 54) number allocated in the ``count`` field. The ``count`` can be smaller than the number requested, even zero, when the driver runs out of free memory. A larger
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 55) number is also possible when the driver requires more buffers to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 56) function correctly. The actual allocated buffer size can is returned
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 57) at ``size``, and can be smaller than what's requested.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 58)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 59) When this I/O method is not supported, the ioctl returns an ``EOPNOTSUPP``
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 60) error code.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 61)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 62) Applications can call :ref:`DMX_REQBUFS` again to change the number of
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 63) buffers, however this cannot succeed when any buffers are still mapped.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 64) A ``count`` value of zero frees all buffers, after aborting or finishing
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 65) any DMA in progress.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 66)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 67) Return Value
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 68) ============
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 69)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 70) On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 71) appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 72) :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 73)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 74) EOPNOTSUPP
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 75) The the requested I/O method is not supported.
