.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
subsystem is a set of operations for the management of device buffer queues.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The primary data type for using the operations is the
|
|
.Em bufq_state
|
|
structure, which is opaque for users.
|
|
.Sh FUNCTIONS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width compact
|
|
.It Fn bufq_alloc "bufq" "strategy" "flags"
|
|
Allocate and initialize a
|
|
.Em bufq_state
|
|
descriptor.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa strategy
|
|
specifies a buffer queue strategy to be used for this buffer queue.
|
|
The following special values can be used:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width BUFQ_DISK_DEFAULT_STRAT -compact
|
|
.It Dv BUFQ_STRAT_ANY
|
|
Let
|
|
.Fn bufq_alloc
|
|
select a strategy.
|
|
.It Dv BUFQ_DISK_DEFAULT_STRAT
|
|
Let
|
|
.Fn bufq_alloc
|
|
select a strategy, assuming it will be used for a normal disk device.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Valid bits for the
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
are:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width BUFQ_SORT_RAWBLOCK -compact
|
|
.It Dv BUFQ_SORT_RAWBLOCK
|
|
sort by
|
|
.Em b_rawblkno
|
|
.It Dv BUFQ_SORT_CYLINDER
|
|
sort by
|
|
.Em b_cylinder
|
|
and then by
|
|
.Em b_rawblkno
|
|
.It Dv BUFQ_EXACT
|
|
Fail if a strategy specified by
|
|
.Fa strategy
|
|
is not available.
|
|
In that case,
|
|
.Fa bufq_alloc
|
|
returns
|
|
.Dv ENOENT .
|
|
If this flag is not specified,
|
|
.Fn bufq_alloc
|
|
will silently use one of available strategies.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Fn bufq_drain "bufq"
|
|
Drain a
|
|
.Em bufq_state
|
|
descriptor.
|
|
.It Fn bufq_free "bufq"
|
|
Destroy a
|
|
.Em bufq_state
|
|
descriptor.
|
|
.It Fn bufq_getstrategyname "bufq"
|
|
Get a strategy identifier of a buffer queue, the
|
|
string returned will be NUL-terminated and it always
|
|
will be a valid strategy name.
|
|
.It Fn bufq_move "dst" "src"
|
|
Move all requests from the buffer queue
|
|
.Fa src
|
|
to the buffer queue
|
|
.Fa dst .
|
|
.It Fn BUFQ_PUT "bufq" "bp"
|
|
Put the buf
|
|
.Fa bp
|
|
in the queue.
|
|
.It Fn BUFQ_GET "bufq"
|
|
Get the next buf from the queue and remove it from the queue.
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if the queue is empty.
|
|
.It Fn BUFQ_PEEK "bufq"
|
|
Get the next buf from the queue without removal.
|
|
The next buf will remain the same until
|
|
.Fn BUFQ_GET ,
|
|
.Fn BUFQ_PUT ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn bufq_drain
|
|
is called.
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if the queue is empty.
