第十五章 Linux核心数据结构
本章列出了Linux实用的主要数据结构。
block_dev_struct
此结构用于向核心登记块设备，它还被buffer cache实用。所有此类结构都位于blk_dev数组中。
struct blk_dev_struct {
void (*request_fn)(void);
struct request * current_request;
struct request plug;
struct tq_struct plug_tq;
};
buffer_head
此结构包含关于buffer cache中一块缓存的信息。
/* bh state bits */
#define BH_Uptodate 0 /* 1 if the buffer contains valid data */
#define BH_Dirty 1 /* 1 if the buffer is dirty */
#define BH_Lock 2 /* 1 if the buffer is locked */
#define BH_Req 3 /* 0 if the buffer has been invalidated */
#define BH_Touched 4 /* 1 if the buffer has been touched (aging) */
#define BH_Has_aged 5 /* 1 if the buffer has been aged (aging) */
#define BH_Protected 6 /* 1 if the buffer is protected */
#define BH_FreeOnIO 7 /* 1 to discard the buffer_head after IO */
struct buffer_head {
/* First cache line: */
unsigned long b_blocknr; /* block number */
kdev_t b_dev; /* device (B_FREE = free) */
kdev_t b_rdev; /* Real device */
unsigned long b_rsector; /* Real buffer location on disk */
struct buffer_head *b_next; /* Hash queue list */
struct buffer_head *b_this_page; /* circular list of buffers in one
page */
/* Second cache line: */
unsigned long b_state; /* buffer state bitmap (above) */
struct buffer_head *b_next_free;
unsigned int b_count; /* users using this block */
unsigned long b_size; /* block size */
/* Non-performance-critical data follows. */
char *b_data; /* pointer to data block *
