The mechanism provides a way for kernel subsystems to register interest in kernel events and have their callback functions invoked when these events occur.The normal way to use this subsystem is via the macro interface. The macros that can be used for working with event handlers and callback function lists are:
- Fn EVENTHANDLER_DECLARE
- This macro declares an event handler named by argument Fa name with callback functions of type Fa type .
- Fn EVENTHANDLER_REGISTER
- This macro registers a callback function Fa func with event handler Fa name . When invoked, function Fa func will be invoked with argument Fa arg as its first parameter along with any additional parameters passed in via macro Fn EVENTHANDLER_INVOKE (see below). Callback functions are invoked in order of priority. The relative priority of each callback among other callbacks associated with an event is given by argument Fa priority , which is an integer ranging from EVENTHANDLER_PRI_FIRST (highest priority), to EVENTHANDLER_PRI_LAST (lowest priority). The symbol EVENTHANDLER_PRI_ANY may be used if the handler does not have a specific priority associated with it. If registration is successful, Fn EVENTHANDLER_REGISTER returns a cookie of type Vt eventhandler_tag .
- Fn EVENTHANDLER_DEREGISTER
- This macro removes a previously registered callback associated with tag Fa tag from the event handler named by argument Fa name .
- Fn EVENTHANDLER_INVOKE
- This macro is used to invoke all the callbacks associated with event handler Fa name . This macro is a variadic one. Additional arguments to the macro after the Fa name parameter are passed as the second and subsequent arguments to each registered callback function.
The macros are implemented using the following functions:
- Fn eventhandler_register
- The Fn eventhandler_register function is used to register a callback with a given event. The arguments expected by this function are:
- Fa list
- A pointer to an existing event handler list, or NULL If Fa list is NULL the event handler list corresponding to argument Fa name is used.
- Fa name
- The name of the event handler list.
- Fa func
- A pointer to a callback function. Argument Fa arg is passed to the callback function Fa func as its first argument when it is invoked.
- Fa priority
- The relative priority of this callback among all the callbacks registered for this event. Valid values are those in the range EVENTHANDLER_PRI_FIRST to EVENTHANDLER_PRI_LAST
The Fn eventhandler_register function returns a Fa tag that can later be used with Fn eventhandler_deregister to remove the particular callback function.
- Fn eventhandler_deregister
- The Fn eventhandler_deregister function removes the callback associated with tag Fa tag from the event handler list pointed to by Fa list . This function is safe to call from inside an event handler callback.
- Fn eventhandler_find_list
- The Fn eventhandler_find_list function returns a pointer to event handler list structure corresponding to event Fa name .
- Fn eventhandler_prune_list
- The Fn eventhandler_prune_list function removes all deregistered callbacks from the event list Fa list .
Kernel Event Handlers
The following event handlers are present in the kernel:- Vt acpi_sleep_event
- Callbacks invoked when the system is being sent to sleep.
- Vt acpi_wakeup_event
- Callbacks invoked when the system is being woken up.
- Vt dev_clone
- Callbacks invoked when a new entry is created under /dev
- Vt ifaddr_event
- Callbacks invoked when an address is set up on a network interface.
- Vt if_clone_event
- Callbacks invoked when an interface is cloned.
- Vt ifnet_arrival_event
- Callbacks invoked when a new network interface appears.
- Vt ifnet_departure_event
- Callbacks invoked when a network interface is taken down.
- Vt power_profile_change
- Callbacks invoked when the power profile of the system changes.
- Vt process_exec
- Callbacks invoked when a process performs an Fn exec operation.
- Vt process_exit
- Callbacks invoked when a process exits.
- Vt process_fork
- Callbacks invoked when a process forks a child.
- Vt shutdown_pre_sync
- Callbacks invoked at shutdown time, before file systems are synchronized.
- Vt shutdown_post_sync
- Callbacks invoked at shutdown time, after all file systems are synchronized.
- Vt shutdown_final
- Callbacks invoked just before halting the system.
- Vt vm_lowmem
- Callbacks invoked when virtual memory is low.
- Vt watchdog_list
- Callbacks invoked when the system watchdog timer is reinitialized.
RETURN VALUES
The macro Fn EVENTHANDLER_REGISTER and function Fn eventhandler_register return a cookie of type Vt eventhandler_tag , which may be used in a subsequent call to Fn EVENTHANDLER_DEREGISTER or Fn eventhandler_deregister .The Fn eventhandler_find_list function returns a pointer to an event handler list corresponding to parameter Fa name , or NULL if no such list was found.
