Name

    gld_mac_info– Generic LAN Driver MAC info data structure

Synopsis

    #include <sys/gld.h>

Interface Level

    Solaris architecture specific (Solaris DDI).

Description

    The Generic LAN Driver (GLD) Media Access Control (MAC) information (gld_mac_info) structure is the main data interface between the device-specific driver and GLD. It contains data required by GLD and a pointer to an optional additional driver-specific information structure.

    The gld_mac_info structure should be allocated using gld_mac_alloc() and deallocated using gld_mac_free(). Drivers can make no assumptions about the length of this structure, which might be different in different releases of Solaris and/or GLD. Structure members private to GLD, not documented here, should not be set or read by the device-specific driver.

    Below is a description of the members of the gld_mac_info structure that are visible to the device driver.

    gldm_private

    This structure member is private to the device-specific driver and is not used or modified by GLD. Conventionally, this is used as a pointer to private data, pointing to a driver-defined and driver-allocated per-instance data structure.

    The following group of structure members must be set by the driver before calling gld_register(), and should not thereafter be modified by the driver; gld_register() can use or cache the values of some of these structure members, so changes made by the driver after calling gld_register() might cause unpredicted results.

    gldm_reset

    Pointer to driver entry point; see gld(9E).

    gldm_start

    Pointer to driver entry point; see gld(9E).

    gldm_stop

    Pointer to driver entry point; see gld(9E).

    gldm_set_mac_addr

    Pointer to driver entry point; see gld(9E).

    gldm_set_multicast

    Pointer to driver entry point; see gld(9E).

    gldm_set_promiscuous

    Pointer to driver entry point; see gld(9E).

    gldm_send

    Pointer to driver entry point; see gld(9E).

    gldm_intr

    Pointer to driver entry point; see gld(9E).

    gldm_get_stats

    Pointer to driver entry point; see gld(9E).

    gldm_ioctl

    Pointer to driver entry point; can be NULL; see gld(9E).

    gldm_ident

    Pointer to a string containing a short description of the device. It is used to identify the device in system messages.

    gldm_type

    The type of device the driver handles. The values currently supported by GLD are DL_ETHER (IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet Bus), DL_TPR (IEEE 802.5 Token Passing Ring), and DL_FDDI (ISO 9314-2 Fibre Distributed Data Interface). This structure member must be correctly set for GLD to function properly.

    Support for the DL_TPR and DL_FDDI media types is obsolete and may be removed in a future release of Solaris.

    gldm_minpkt

    Minimum Service Data Unit size — the minimum packet size, not including the MAC header, that the device will transmit. This can be zero if the device-specific driver can handle any required padding.

    gldm_maxpkt

    Maximum Service Data Unit size — the maximum size of packet, not including the MAC header, that can be transmitted by the device. For Ethernet, this number is 1500.

    gldm_addrlen

    The length in bytes of physical addresses handled by the device. For Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI, the value of this structure member should be 6.

    gldm_saplen

    The length in bytes of the Service Access Point (SAP) address used by the driver. For GLD-based drivers, this should always be set to -2, to indicate that two-byte SAP values are supported and that the SAP appears after the physical address in a DLSAP address. See the description under ``Message DL_INFO_ACK'' in the DLPI specification for more details.

    gldm_broadcast_addr

    Pointer to an array of bytes of length gldm_addrlen containing the broadcast address to be used for transmit. The driver must allocate space to hold the broadcast address, fill it in with the appropriate value, and set gldm_broadcast_addr to point at it. For Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI, the broadcast address is normally 0xFF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF.

    gldm_vendor_addr

    Pointer to an array of bytes of length gldm_addrlen containing the vendor-provided network physical address of the device. The driver must allocate space to hold the address, fill it in with information read from the device, and set gldm_vendor_addr to point at it.

    gldm_ppa

    The Physical Point of Attachment (PPA) number for this instance of the device. Normally this should be set to the instance number, returned from ddi_get_instance(9F).

    gldm_devinfo

    Pointer to the dev_info node for this device.

    gldm_cookie

    The interrupt block cookie returned by ddi_get_iblock_cookie(9F), ddi_add_intr(9F), ddi_get_soft_iblock_cookie(9F), or ddi_add_softintr(9F). This must correspond to the device's receive interrupt, from which gld_recv() is called.

    gldm_margin

    Drivers set this value to the amount of data in bytes that the device can transmit beyond gldm_maxpkt. For example, if an Ethernet device can handle packets whose payload section is no greater than 1522 bytes and the gldm_maxpkt is set to 1500 (as is typical for Ethernet), then gldm_margin is set to 22. The registered gldm_margin value is reported in acknowledgements of the DLIOCMARGININFO ioctl (see dlpi(7P)).

    gldm_capabilities

    Bit-field of device capabilities. If the device is capable of reporting media link state, the GLD_CAP_LINKSTATE bit should be set.
