3.3.6 Process Request Structures

All process request structures contain the a copy of the same request header information, which is defined by the

COMMON_REQ_PREAMBLE macro. The members of this he ader must be filled in as needed by the user prior to the

issue of the user's request.

unsigned long opId;
unsigned char scatterBufs;
unsigned char notifyFlags;
unsigned char reserved;
unsigned char channel;
PSEC2_NOTIFY_ROUTIN E notify;
PSEC2_NOTIFY_CTX pNotifyCtx;
PSEC2_NOTIFY_ON_ERROR_ROUTIN E notify_on_error;
SEC2_NOTIFY_ON_ERRO R_CTX ctxNotifyOnEr r;
int status;
void *nextReq;
opId operation Id which identifies what type of request this is. It is normally associated with
a specific type of cryptographic operation, see Section4, “Individual Request Type
Descriptions” for all supported request types.
scatterBufs A bitmask that specifies which of the argued buffers are mapped through a
scatter-gather list. The mask is filled out via the driver's helper function
MarkScatterBuffer(), described in Section3.3.7, “Scatter-Gather Buffer
Management.”
notifyFlags If a POSIX-style signal handler will be responsible for request completion notification,
then it can contain ORed bits of NOTIFY_IS_PID and/or
NOTIFY_ERROR_IS_PID, signifying that the notify or notify_on_error
pointers are instead the process ID's (i.e. getpid()) of the task requesting a signal
upon request completion.
channel identifies the channel to be used for the request. It exists for legacy compatibility
reasons, and is no longer useful for SEC2.
notify pointer to a notification callback routine that will be called when the request has
completed successfully. May instead be a process ID if a user-state signal handler will
flag completion. Refer back to notifyFlags for more info.
pNotifyCtx pointer to context area to be passed back through the notification routine.
