NAME : HCPNICBK DESCRIPTION: Virtual Network Interface Card block DSECT : NICBK FUNCTION : Define a structure to represent a Network Interface Card. One NICBK exists for each Virtual Adapter. Each NICBK is associated with a set of Virtual Network Interface Devices (VDEV/NIDBK). LOCATED BY - VDEVNIC = Pointer to owning adapter NICBK NIDNICBK = Pointer to owning adapter NICBK LNKNICHD = Pointer to chain of coupled adapter NICBK CREATED BY : CP DEFINE command processing (module HCPVDB) DELETED BY : CP DETACH command processing (module HCPVDB) REFERENCES : HCPDVTYP COPY - Specific device types HCPEQUAT COPY - General CP equates Comments : - Exist in the system execution space. - Not known by Hardware. - See Serialization comments in the Assembler section.

In general, these fields are serialized by the NIC Adapter Lock: - Hold NICLKWRD EXCLUSIVE to update - Hold NICLKWRD SHARED to reference NICRFCTR is used to protect the NICBK over a stacked call. - NICRFCTR is updated using Compare and Swap (CS) logic. - NICLKWRD (Shared or Exclusive) must be held, or LANLKWRD (Shared or Exclusive) must be held to update NICRFCTR. - The code that intends to initiate a deferred (stacked) call must increment NICRFCTR (using CS logic). - The code that is dispatched asynchronously should perform the following steps: (1) Obtain NICLKWRD (Shared or Exclusive) (2) Decrement NICRFCTR (using CS logic). (3) If NICDLPRG=1 (Delete in Progress), If NICRFCTR = 0, Obtain NICLKWRD Exclusive (see HCPLCKSX). Call HCPNICDX to Destroy this NICBK. Exit without attempting to release NICLKWRD.

In addition to keeping track of the lock requests, a corresponding counter will indicate the number of times the port had to wait to perform the function. The following information is kept on a per port basis, including both real and virtual guest LAN ports: LANBK (LANLKWR) lock requests sending or receiving data. NICBK (NICLKWD) lock requests when sending data to another port. NICBK (NICLKWD) lock requests when receiving data from another port.
