untimeout(9F)

NAME

untimeout − cancel previous timeout function call

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/conf.h>
int untimeout(int id);

INTERFACE LEVEL

Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).

ARGUMENTS

id Identification value generated by a previous timeout(9F) function call.

DESCRIPTION

untimeout() cancels a pending timeout(9F) request. untimeout() will not return until the pending callback is cancelled or has run. Because of this, locks acquired by the callback routine should not be held across the call to untimeout() or a deadlock may result.

RETURN VALUES

untimeout() returns -1 if the id is not found. Otherwise, it returns an integer value greater than or equal to 0.

CONTEXT

untimeout() can be called from user or interrupt context.

EXAMPLE

In the following example, the device driver has issued an IO request and is waiting for the device to respond. If the device does not respond within 5 minutes, the device driver will print out an error message to the console.

        xsp->timeout_id = 0;
        xsp->flags |= TIMED_OUT;
        mutex_exit(&xsp->lock);
