From: Poul-Henning Kamp Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2000 13:55:27 +0200 Message-ID: <23546.955367727@critter.freebsd.dk> Sender: owner-freebsd-arch@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Core asked me to produce a short document about what I am trying to do with the struct buf / struct bio and all that jazz. This paper can be found here: http://phk.freebsd.dk/Bio/bio.ps There are two parts to it: 1. The argumentation for splitting struct bio out from struct buf 2. A road map for the stackable BIO system. Barring any competent objections, the patch still up for review at http://phk.freebsd.dk/misc will be committed and work progress according to the roadmap. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD coreteam member | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
