EVT_SERCX2_SYSTEM_DMA_RECEIVE_CONFIGURE_DMA_CHANNEL callback function (sercx.h)

Article

The EvtSerCx2SystemDmaReceiveConfigureDmaChannel event callback function is called by version 2 of the serial framework extension (SerCx2) to let the serial controller driver do any custom configuration of the DMA adapter that might be required before the start of each transfer in a system-DMA-receive transaction.

Syntax

EVT_SERCX2_SYSTEM_DMA_RECEIVE_CONFIGURE_DMA_CHANNEL EvtSercx2SystemDmaReceiveConfigureDmaChannel;

NTSTATUS EvtSercx2SystemDmaReceiveConfigureDmaChannel(
  [in] SERCX2SYSTEMDMARECEIVE SystemDmaReceive,
  [in] PMDL Mdl,
  [in] ULONG Offset,
  [in] ULONG Length
)
{...}

Parameters

[in] SystemDmaReceive

A SERCX2SYSTEMDMARECEIVE handle to a system-DMA-receive object. The serial controller driver previously called the SerCx2SystemDmaReceiveCreate method to create this object.

[in] Mdl

A pointer to an MDL that describes the memory pages that are spanned by the read buffer for the system-DMA-receive transaction. The scatter/gather list for the DMA transfer will use the region of this memory that is specified by the Offset and Length parameters.

[in] Offset

The starting offset for the data transfer. This parameter is a byte offset from the start of the buffer region described by the MDL. If the MDL specifies a total of N bytes of buffer space, possible values of Offset are in the range 0 to N–1.

[in] Length

The size, in bytes, of the data transfer. If the MDL specifies a total of N bytes of buffer space, possible values of Length are in the range 1 to N–Offset.

Return value

The EvtSerCx2SystemDmaReceiveConfigureDmaChannel function returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the call is successful. Otherwise, it returns an appropriate error status code.

Remarks

Your serial controller driver can, as an option, implement this function. If implemented, the driver registers the function in the SerCx2SystemDmaReceiveCreate call that creates the system-DMA-receive object.

Before initiating a system-DMA-receive transaction, SerCx2 calls the EvtSerCx2SystemDmaReceiveConfigureDmaChannel function, if it is implemented. This function performs any special configuration of the system DMA controller that might be required before SerCx2 starts the system-DMA-receive transaction.

The serial controller driver can call a method such as SerCx2SystemDmaReceiveGetDmaEnabler to get the DMA enabler for the system DMA controller used for system-DMA-receive transactions.

Examples

To define an EvtSerCx2SystemDmaReceiveConfigureDmaChannel callback function, you must first provide a function declaration that identifies the type of callback function you're defining. Windows provides a set of callback function types for drivers. Declaring a function using the callback function types helps Code Analysis for Drivers, Static Driver Verifier (SDV), and other verification tools find errors, and it's a requirement for writing drivers for the Windows operating system.

For example, to define an EvtSerCx2SystemDmaReceiveConfigureDmaChannel callback function that is named MySystemDmaReceiveConfigureDmaChannel, use the EVT_SERCX2_SYSTEM_DMA_RECEIVE_CONFIGURE_DMA_CHANNEL function type, as shown in this code example:

EVT_SERCX2_SYSTEM_DMA_RECEIVE_CONFIGURE_DMA_CHANNEL  MySystemDmaReceiveConfigureDmaChannel;

Then, implement your callback function as follows:

_Use_decl_annotations_
NTSTATUS
  MySystemDmaReceiveConfigureDmaChannel(
    SERCX2SYSTEMDMARECEIVE SystemDmaReceive,
    PMDL Mdl,
    ULONG Offset,
    ULONG Length
    )
  {...}

The EVT_SERCX2_SYSTEM_DMA_RECEIVE_CONFIGURE_DMA_CHANNEL function type is defined in the Sercx.h header file. To more accurately identify errors when you run the code analysis tools, be sure to add the Use_decl_annotations annotation to your function definition. The Use_decl_annotations annotation ensures that the annotations that are applied to the EVT_SERCX2_SYSTEM_DMA_RECEIVE_CONFIGURE_DMA_CHANNEL function type in the header file are used. For more information about the requirements for function declarations, see Declaring Functions by Using Function Role Types for KMDF Drivers.
