.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
A
|
|
.Vt "struct bio"
|
|
is used by GEOM to describe I/O requests, its
|
|
most important fields are described below:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Va bio_attribute"
|
|
.It Va bio_cmd
|
|
I/O request command.
|
|
There are four I/O requests available in GEOM:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv BIO_GETATTR"
|
|
.It Dv BIO_READ
|
|
A read request.
|
|
.It Dv BIO_WRITE
|
|
A write request.
|
|
.It Dv BIO_DELETE
|
|
Indicates that a certain range of data is no longer used and that
|
|
it can be erased or freed as the underlying technology supports.
|
|
Technologies like flash adaptation layers can arrange to erase the relevant
|
|
blocks before they will become reassigned and cryptographic devices may
|
|
want to fill random bits into the range to reduce the amount of data
|
|
available for attack.
|
|
.It Dv BIO_GETATTR
|
|
Inspect and manipulate out-of-band
|
|
attributes on a particular provider or path.
|
|
Attributes are named by ascii strings and are stored in the
|
|
.Va bio_attribute
|
|
field.
|
|
.It Dv BIO_FLUSH
|
|
Tells underlying providers to flush their write caches.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Va bio_flags
|
|
Available flags:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv BIO_ERROR"
|
|
.It Dv BIO_ERROR
|
|
Request failed (error value is stored in
|
|
.Va bio_error
|
|
field).
|
|
.It Dv BIO_DONE
|
|
Request finished.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Va bio_cflags
|
|
Private use by the consumer.
|
|
.It Va bio_pflags
|
|
Private use by the provider.
|
|
.It Va bio_offset
|
|
Offset into provider.
|
|
.It Va bio_data
|
|
Pointer to data buffer.
|
|
.It Va bio_error
|
|
Error value when
|
|
.Dv BIO_ERROR
|
|
is set.
|
|
.It Va bio_done
|
|
Pointer to function which will be called when the request is finished.
|
|
.It Va bio_driver1
|
|
Private use by the provider.
|
|
.It Va bio_driver2
|
|
Private use by the provider.
|
|
.It Va bio_caller1
|
|
Private use by the consumer.
|
|
.It Va bio_caller2
|
|
Private use by the consumer.
|
|
.It Va bio_attribute
|
|
Attribute string for
|
|
.Dv BIO_GETATTR
|
|
request.
|
|
.It Va bio_from
|
|
Consumer to use for request (attached to provider stored in
|
|
.Va bio_to
|
|
field) (typically read-only for a class).
|
|
.It Va bio_to
|
|
Destination provider (typically read-only for a class).
|
|
.It Va bio_length
|
|
Request length in bytes.
|
|
.It Va bio_completed
|
|
Number of bytes completed, but they may not be completed from
|
|
the front of the request.
|
|
.It Va bio_children
|
|
Number of
|
|
.Vt bio
|
|
clones (typically read-only for a class).
|
|
.It Va bio_inbed
|
|
Number of finished
|
|
.Vt bio
|
|
clones.
|
|
.It Va bio_parent
|
|
Pointer to parent
|
|
.Vt bio .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn g_new_bio
|
|
function allocates a new, empty
|
|
.Vt bio
|
|
structure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn g_alloc_bio
|
|
- same as
|
|
.Fn g_new_bio ,
|
|
but always succeeds (allocates bio with the
|
|
.Dv M_WAITOK
|
|
malloc flag).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn g_clone_bio
|
|
function allocates a new
|
|
.Vt bio
|
|
structure and copies the following fields from the
|
|
.Vt bio
|
|
given as an argument to clone:
|
|
.Va bio_cmd ,
|
|
.Va bio_length ,
|
|
.Va bio_offset ,
|
|
.Va bio_data ,
|
|
.Va bio_attribute .
|
|
The field
|
|
.Va bio_parent
|
|
in the clone points to the passed
|
|
.Vt bio
|
|
and the field
|
|
.Va bio_children
|
|
in the passed
|
|
.Vt bio
|
|
is incremented.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This function should be used for every request which enters through
|
|
the provider of a particular geom and needs to be scheduled down.
|
|
Proper order is:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -enum -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
Clone the received
|
|
.Vt "struct bio" .
|
|
.It
|
|
Modify the clone.
|
|
.It
|
|
Schedule the clone on its own consumer.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn g_duplicate_bio
|
|
- same as
|
|
.Fn g_clone_bio ,
|
|
but always succeeds (allocates bio with the
|
|
.Dv M_WAITOK
|
|
malloc flag).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn g_destroy_bio
|
|
function deallocates and destroys the given
|
|
.Vt bio
|
|
structure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn g_print_bio
|
|
function prints information about the given
|
|
.Vt bio
|
|
structure (for debugging purposes).
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn g_new_bio
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn g_clone_bio
|
|
functions return a pointer to the allocated
|
|
.Vt bio ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if an error occurred.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
Implementation of
|
|
.Dq Dv NULL Ns -transformation ,
|
|
meaning that an I/O request is cloned and scheduled down without any
|
|
modifications.
|
|
Let us assume that field
|
|
.Va ex_consumer
|
|
in structure
|
|
.Vt example_softc
|
|
contains a consumer attached to the provider we want to operate on.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
void
|
|
example_start(struct bio *bp)
|
|
{
|
|
struct example_softc *sc;
|
|
struct bio *cbp;
|
|
|
|
printf("Request received: ");
|
|
g_print_bio(bp);
|
|
printf("\\n");
|
|
|
|
sc = bp->bio_to->geom->softc;
|
|
if (sc == NULL) {
|
|
g_io_deliver(bp, ENXIO);
|
|
return;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* Let's clone our bio request. */
|
|
cbp = g_clone_bio(bp);
|
|
if (cbp == NULL) {
|
|
g_io_deliver(bp, ENOMEM);
|
|
return;
|
|
}
|
|
cbp->bio_done = g_std_done; /* Standard 'done' function. */
|
|
|
|
/* Ok, schedule it down. */
|
|
/*
|
|
* The consumer can be obtained from
|
|
* LIST_FIRST(&bp->bio_to->geom->consumers) as well,
|
|
* if there is only one in our geom.
|
|
*/
|

g_io_request(cbp, sc->ex_consumer);
