Detailed Description

Interface for kernel objects that allow to receive IPC from them.

Such an object is for example an Ipc_gate (with server rights) or an Irq. Those objects allow to bind a thread that shall receive IPC from these object via bind_thread().

Member Function Documentation

bind_thread()

l4_msgtag_t L4::Rcv_endpoint::bind_thread	(	Ipc::Cap< Thread >	t,
		l4_umword_t	label
	)

Bind a thread to an IPC receive endpoint.

Parameters

t	Thread object that shall be bound to this receive endpoint.
label	Label to assign to this receive endpoint. The two least significant bits should usually be set to zero.

Returns

Syscall return tag containing one of the following return codes.

Return values

L4_EOK	Operation successful.
-L4_EINVAL	t is not a thread object or other arguments were malformed.
-L4_EPERM	No L4_CAP_FPAGE_S right on t or the capability used to invoke this operation.

Precondition

If this operation is invoked using an IPC gate capability without the L4_FPAGE_C_IPCGATE_SVR right, the kernel will not perform the operation. Instead, the underlying IPC message will be forwarded to the thread bound to the IPC gate, blocking the caller if no thread is bound yet.

The specified label is passed to the receiver of the incoming IPC. It is possible to re-bind a receive endpoint to the same or a different thread. In this case, IPC already in flight will be delivered with the old label to the previously bound thread unless L4::Thread::modify_senders() is used to change these labels.
