13.1.8 Indicating That the Interrupt Was Serviced
The following code shows how the
el_intr( )
routine indicates that the
interrupt was serviced:
return INTR_SERVICED;
1
}
1
Returns the
INTR_SERVICED
constant to the kernel interrupt
dispatcher to indicate that
el_intr( )
serviced the shared interrupt.
13.2 Implementing the el_rint Routine
The
if_el
driver’s
el_rint( )
routine is the receive interrupt completion
routine. It performs the following tasks:
•
Counts the receive interrupt and reads the receive status (Section 13.2.1)
•
Pulls the packets from the FIFO buffer (Section 13.2.2)
•
Examines the first part of the packet (Section 13.2.3)
•
Copies the received packet into the
mbuf
(Section 13.2.4)
•
Discards a packet (Section 13.2.5)
13.2.1 Counting the Receive Interrupt and Reading the Receive
Status
The following code shows how the
el_rint( )
routine counts the receive
interrupt and reads the receive status:
#define RXLOOP ((16*1024)/64)
1
static void el_rint(struct el_softc *sc,
struct ifnet *ifp)
{
int len, i, count=RXLOOP;
volatile short status;
struct mbuf *m;
unsigned char *dat;
unsigned int in;
struct ether_header eh;
sc->rint++;
2
status = READ_RXS(sc);
3
1
Defines a constant that represents the maximum number of packets in
a 16K receive buffer.
2
Increments the receive interrupt counter.
3
Calls the
READ_RXS
macro to read the receive status.
