Typedef Documentation

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_DPC_DISPATCH_DPC)(IN EFI_DPC_PROTOCOL *This)

Dispatch the queue of DPCs.

DPCs with DpcTpl value greater than the current TPL value are queued, and then DPCs with DpcTpl value lower than the current TPL value are queued. All DPCs in the first group (higher DpcTpl values) are invoked before DPCs in the second group (lower DpcTpl values).

Parameters

This	Protocol instance pointer.

Return values

EFI_SUCCESS	One or more DPCs were invoked.
EFI_NOT_FOUND	No DPCs were invoked.

typedef VOID(EFIAPI * EFI_DPC_PROCEDURE)(IN VOID *DpcContext)

Invoke a Deferred Procedure Call.

Parameters

DpcContext

The pointer to the Deferred Procedure Call's context, which is implementation dependent.

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_DPC_QUEUE_DPC)(IN EFI_DPC_PROTOCOL *This, IN EFI_TPL DpcTpl, IN EFI_DPC_PROCEDURE DpcProcedure, IN VOID *DpcContext)

Add a Deferred Procedure Call to the end of the DPC queue.

Parameters

This	The protocol instance pointer.
DpcTpl	The EFI_TPL that the DPC should invoke.
DpcProcedure	The pointer to the DPC's function.
DpcContext	The pointer to the DPC's context. Passed to DpcProcedure when DpcProcedure is invoked.

Return values

EFI_SUCCESS	The DPC was queued.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	DpcTpl is not a valid EFI_TPL.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER	DpcProcedure is NULL.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES	There are not enough resources available to add the DPC to the queue.
