Thanks Max, I've written a frontend pseudo HBA driver which will expose disks 
through scsi_probe. The requirement is to pass SGL's to a SCSI target driver 
sitting in a backend Virtual Machine, using memory sharing between VMs. The 
backend VM copies these SGL's into its own SGL's before doing an I/O.
 I'll then instead use hat_getpfnum to get the page address for each buffer and 
construct my own DMA windows from the bp?? Or if you think there's a better way 
to do this pls let me know.

If its a pseudo-HBA driver, then you shouldn't use DMA mapping. This might mean that tran_setup_pkt() is the wrong interface to use -- you might be better off using tran_init_pkt().

Hi Bhaskar,

When you use ddi_dma_alloc_handle() with a pseudo device, the routine calls
into the pseudonex.c module. The pseudonex module routine for ddi_dma_alloc_handle
calls is ddi_no_dma_allochdl(), which returns DDI_DMA_BADATTR (see the
code in pseudonex.c and sunddi.c).

Max yes I'm assigning smu_generic_dma_attr to tmp_dma_attr before making the 
call. I've tried a bunch of things like changing the attributes but I still 
keep getting the error. Would switching to DDI_DMA_FORCE_PHYSICAL be advised? 
Since I'm writing this driver for a pseudo device I'm sure IOMMU virtual 
addresses won't be used.

Hi I'm using an x86 vm which has an emulated IOMMU on it. The following are the

static ddi_dma_attr_t smu_generic_dma_attr = {
        DMA_ATTR_V0,                                    /* dma_attr_version */
        (unsigned long long)0,                          /* low DMA address

        (unsigned long long)0xffffffff, /* DMA counter register */
         8,   /* DMA address alignment */
        0x07, /* DMA burstsizes  */
        1, /* min DMA size */
        (unsigned long long)0xffffffff, /* max DMA size */
        (unsigned long long)0xffffffff, /* segment boundary */
        16, /* dma_attr_sglen */
        512, /* granularity of device */
        0 /* bus specific DMA flags */
};

The call I make is ddi_dma_alloc_handle (instance->dip, &tmp_dma_attr, 
DDI_DMA_DONTWAIT, 0, &acmd->cmd_dmahandle)
I assume you are assigning tmp_dma_attr to smu_generic_dma_attr before
making this call?  What happens if you pass &smu_generic_dma_attr instead
of &tmp_dma_attr?

max

In the 3rd parameter, I've tried using DDI_DMA_SLEEP as well but I still get 
the DDI_DMA_BADATTR error from the API.

I don't see where I'm going wrong in making the call.

Bhaskar.
