CVS commit: syssrc



Module Name:    syssrc
Committed By:   thorpej
Date:           Fri Jan 21 23:20:52 UTC 2000

Modified Files:
        syssrc/sys/kern: subr_disk.c
        syssrc/sys/sys: buf.h

Log Message:
- Add a B_ORDERED flag to communicate to drivers that an I/O request should
  be issued/completed in order; that is, provide a barrier for I/O queues.
- Change the buffer driver queue links to a TAILQ, rather than using
  a home-grown equivalent.  Provide BUFQ_*() macros to manipulate buffer
  queues; these deal with the barrier provided by B_ORDERED.
- Update disksort() accordingly, and provide 3 versions:
        - disksort_cylinder(): historical disksort(), which keys on
          b_cylinder (and b_blkno for the case when b_cylinder matches).
        - disksort_blkno(): sorts only on b_blkno.  Essentially the
          same as disksort_cylinder(), but with fewer comparisons.
        - disksort_tail(): requests are simply inserted into the queue
          at the tail.  This is provided as an option so that drivers
          can simply have a pointer to the appropriate sort function.
  Note that disksort() now pays attention to B_ORDERED.
