ddi_in_panic(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers ddi_in_panic(9F)NAMEddi_in_panic - determine if system is in panic state
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/ddi.h>
#include <sys/sunddi.h>
int ddi_in_panic(void);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
DESCRIPTION
Drivers controlling devices on which the system may write a kernel
crash dump in the event of a panic can call ddi_in_panic() to determine
if the system is panicking.
When the system is panicking, the calls of functions scheduled by time‐
out(9F) and ddi_trigger_softintr(9F) will never occur. Neither can
delay(9F) be relied upon, since it is implemented via timeout(9F).
Drivers that need to enforce a time delay such as SCSI bus reset delay
time must busy-wait when the system is panicking.
RETURN VALUESddi_in_panic() returns 1 if the system is in panic, or 0 otherwise.
CONTEXTddi_in_panic() may be called from any context.
