The fundamental component of this framework is the .Nm disk structure, which is defined as follows: .Bd -literal struct disk { TAILQ_ENTRY(disk) dk_link; /* link in global disklist */ const char *dk_name; /* disk name */ prop_dictionary_t dk_info; /* reference to disk-info dictionary */ int dk_bopenmask; /* block devices open */ int dk_copenmask; /* character devices open */ int dk_openmask; /* composite (bopen|copen) */ int dk_state; /* label state ### */ int dk_blkshift; /* shift to convert DEV_BSIZE to blks */ int dk_byteshift; /* shift to convert bytes to blks */ /* * Metrics data; note that some metrics may have no meaning * on certain types of disks. */ struct io_stats *dk_stats; const struct dkdriver *dk_driver; /* pointer to driver */ /* * Information required to be the parent of a disk wedge. */ kmutex_t dk_rawlock; /* lock on these fields */ u_int dk_rawopens; /* # of opens of rawvp */ struct vnode *dk_rawvp; /* vnode for the RAW_PART bdev */ kmutex_t dk_openlock; /* lock on these and openmask */ u_int dk_nwedges; /* # of configured wedges */ /* all wedges on this disk */ LIST_HEAD(, dkwedge_softc) dk_wedges; /* * Disk label information. Storage for the in-core disk label * must be dynamically allocated, otherwise the size of this * structure becomes machine-dependent. */ daddr_t dk_labelsector; /* sector containing label */ struct disklabel *dk_label; /* label */ struct cpu_disklabel *dk_cpulabel; }; .Ed .Pp The system maintains a global linked-list of all disks attached to the system. This list, called .Nm disklist , may grow or shrink over time as disks are dynamically added and removed from the system. Drivers which currently make use of the detachment capability of the framework are the .Nm ccd , .Nm dm , and .Nm vnd pseudo-device drivers. .Pp The following is a brief description of each function in the framework: .Bl -tag -width ".Fn disk_set_info" .It Fn disk_init Initialize the disk structure. .It Fn disk_attach Attach a disk; allocate storage for the disklabel, set the .Dq attached time timestamp, insert the disk into the disklist, and increment the system disk count. .It Fn disk_begindetach Check whether the disk is open, and if not, return 0. If the disk is open, and .Dv DETACH_FORCE is not set in .Fa flags , return .Dv EBUSY . Otherwise, call the provided .Fa lastclose routine .Po if not .Dv NULL .Pc and return its exit code. .It Fn disk_detach Detach a disk; free storage for the disklabel, remove the disk from the disklist, and decrement the system disk count. If the count drops below zero, panic. .It Fn disk_destroy Release resources used by the disk structure when it is no longer required. .It Fn disk_wait Disk timings are measured by counting the number of queued requests (wait counter) and requests issued to the hardware (busy counter) and keeping timestamp when the counters change. The time interval between two changes of a counter is accumulated into a total and also multiplied by the counter value and the accumulated into a sum. Both values can be used to determine how much time is spent in the driver queue or in-flight to the hardware as well as the average number of requests in either state. .Fn disk_wait increment the disk's wait counter and handles the accumulation. .It Fn disk_busy Decrements the disk's wait counter and increments the disk's .Dq busy counter , and handles either accumulation. If the wait counter is still zero, it is assumed that the driver hasn't been updated to call .Fn disk_wait , then only the values from the busy counter are available. .It Fn disk_unbusy Decrement the disk's busy counter and handles the accumulation. The third argument .Ar read specifies the direction of I/O; if non-zero it means reading from the disk, otherwise it means writing to the disk. .It Fn disk_isbusy Returns .Ar true if disk is marked as busy and false if it is not. .It Fn disk_find Return a pointer to the disk structure corresponding to the name provided, or .Dv NULL if the disk does not exist. .It Fn disk_set_info Setup disk-info dictionary and other dependent values of the disk structure, the driver must have initialized the dk_geom member of .Fa struct disk with suitable values. If .Fa type is not .Dv NULL , it will be added to the dictionary. .El .Pp The functions typically called by device drivers are .Fn disk_init .Fn disk_attach , .Fn disk_begindetach , .Fn disk_detach , .Fn disk_destroy , .Fn disk_wait , .Fn disk_busy , .Fn disk_unbusy , and .Fn disk_set_info . The function .Fn disk_find is provided as a utility function. .Sh DISK IOCTLS The following ioctls should be implemented by disk drivers: .Bl -tag -width "xxxxxx" .It Dv DIOCGDINFO "struct disklabel" Get disklabel. .It Dv DIOCSDINFO "struct disklabel" Set in-memory disklabel. .It Dv DIOCWDINFO "struct disklabel" Set in-memory disklabel and write on-disk disklabel. .It Dv DIOCGPART "struct partinfo" Get partition information. This is used internally. .It Dv DIOCRFORMAT "struct format_op" Read format. .It Dv DIOCWFORMAT "struct format_op" Write format. .It Dv DIOCSSTEP "int" Set step rate. .It Dv DIOCSRETRIES "int" Set number of retries. .It Dv DIOCKLABEL "int" Specify whether to keep or drop the in-memory disklabel when the device is closed. .It Dv DIOCWLABEL "int" Enable or disable writing to the part of the disk that contains the label. .It Dv DIOCSBAD "struct dkbad" Set kernel dkbad. .It Dv DIOCEJECT "int" Eject removable disk. .It Dv DIOCLOCK "int" Lock or unlock disk pack. For devices with removable media, locking is intended to prevent the operator from removing the media. .It Dv DIOCGDEFLABEL "struct disklabel" Get default label. .It Dv DIOCCLRLABEL Clear disk label. .It Dv DIOCGCACHE "int" Get status of disk read and write caches. The result is a bitmask containing the following values: .Bl -tag -width DKCACHE_RCHANGE .It Dv DKCACHE_READ Read cache enabled. .It Dv DKCACHE_WRITE Write(back) cache enabled. .It Dv DKCACHE_RCHANGE Read cache enable is changeable. .It Dv DKCACHE_WCHANGE Write cache enable is changeable. .It Dv DKCACHE_SAVE Cache parameters may be saved, so that they persist across reboots or device detach/attach cycles. .El .It Dv DIOCSCACHE "int" Set status of disk read and write caches. The input is a bitmask in the same format as used for .Dv DIOCGCACHE . .It Dv DIOCCACHESYNC "int" Synchronise the disk cache. This causes information in the disk's write cache (if any) to be flushed to stable storage. The argument specifies whether or not to force a flush even if the kernel believes that there is no outstanding data. .It Dv DIOCBSLIST "struct disk_badsecinfo" Get bad sector list. .It Dv DIOCBSFLUSH Flush bad sector list. .It Dv DIOCAWEDGE "struct dkwedge_info" Add wedge. .It Dv DIOCGWEDGEINFO "struct dkwedge_info" Get wedge information. .It Dv DIOCDWEDGE "struct dkwedge_info" Delete wedge. .It Dv DIOCLWEDGES "struct dkwedge_list" List wedges. .It Dv DIOCGSTRATEGY "struct disk_strategy" Get disk buffer queue strategy. .It Dv DIOCSSTRATEGY "struct disk_strategy" Set disk buffer queue strategy. .It Dv DIOCGDISKINFO "struct plistref" Get disk-info dictionary. .It Dv DIOCGMEDIASIZE "off_t" Get disk size in bytes. .It Dv DIOCGSECTORSIZE "u_int" Get sector size in bytes. .El .Sh USING THE FRAMEWORK This section includes a description on basic use of the framework and example usage of its functions. Actual implementation of a device driver which uses the framework may vary. .Pp Each device in the system uses a .Dq softc structure which contains autoconfiguration and state information for that device. In the case of disks, the softc should also contain one instance of the disk structure, e.g.: .Bd -literal struct foo_softc { device_t sc_dev; /* generic device information */ struct disk sc_dk; /* generic disk information */ [ . . . more . . . ] }; .Ed .Pp In order for the system to gather metrics data about a disk, the disk must be registered with the system. The .Fn disk_attach routine performs all of the functions currently required to register a disk with the system including allocation of disklabel storage space, recording of the time since boot that the disk was attached, and insertion into the disklist. Note that since this function allocates storage space for the disklabel, it must be called before the disklabel is read from the media or used in any other way. Before .Fn disk_attach is called, a portions of the disk structure must be initialized with data specific to that disk. For example, in the .Dq foo disk driver, the following would be performed in the autoconfiguration .Dq attach routine: .Bd -literal void fooattach(device_t parent, device_t self, void *aux) { struct foo_softc *sc = device_private(self); [ . . . ] /* Initialize and attach the disk structure. */ disk_init(&sc->sc_dk, device_xname(self), &foodkdriver); disk_attach(&sc->sc_dk); /* Read geometry and fill in pertinent parts of disklabel. */ /* Initialize geometry values of the disk structure */ [ . . . ] disk_set_info(&self>, &sc->sc_dk, type); } .Ed .Pp The .Nm foodkdriver above is the disk's .Dq driver switch. This switch currently includes pointers to several driver entry points, where only the .Nm d_strategy entry point is used by the disk framework. This switch needs to have global scope and should be initialized as follows: .Bd -literal void (foostrategy)(struct buf *); void (foominphys)(struct buf *); int (fooopen)(dev_t, int, int, struct lwp *); int (fooclose)(dev_t, int, int, struct lwp *); int (foo_discard)(device_t, off_t, off_t); int (foo_diskstart)(device_t, struct buf *); void (foo_iosize)(device_t, int *); int (foo_dumpblocks)(device_t, void *, daddr_t, int); int (foo_lastclose)(device_t); int (foo_firstopen)(device_t, dev_t, int, int); int (foo_label)(device_t, struct disklabel *); const struct dkdriver foodkdriver = { .d_open = fooopen, .d_close = fooclose, .d_strategy = foostrategy, .d_minphys = foominphys, .d_discard = foo_discard, .d_diskstart = foo_diskstart, /* optional */ .d_dumpblocks = foo_dumpblocks, /* optional */ .d_iosize = foo_iosize, /* optional */ .d_firstopen = foo_firstopen, /* optional */ .d_lastclose = foo_lastclose, /* optional */ .d_label = foo_label, /* optional */ }; .Ed .Pp Once the disk is attached, metrics may be gathered on that disk. In order to gather metrics data, the driver must tell the framework when the disk queues, starts and stops operations. This functionality is provided by the .Fn disk_wait , .Fn disk_busy and .Fn disk_unbusy routines. Because .Nm struct disk is part of device driver private data it needs to be guarded. Mutual exclusion must be done by driver .Fn disk_wait , .Fn disk_busy and .Fn disk_unbusy are not thread safe. The .Fn disk_busy routine should be called immediately before a command to the disk is sent, e.g.: .Bd -literal void foostrategy(struct buf *bp) { [ . . . ] mutex_enter(&sc->sc_dk_mtx); disk_wait(&sc->sc_dk); /* Put buffer onto drive's transfer queue */ mutex_exit(&sc->sc_dk_mtx); foostart(sc); } void foostart(struct foo_softc *sc) { [ . . . ] /* Get buffer from drive's transfer queue. */ [ . . . ] /* Build command to send to drive. */ [ . . . ] /* Tell the disk framework we're going busy. */ mutex_enter(&sc->sc_dk_mtx); disk_busy(&sc->sc_dk); mutex_exit(&sc->sc_dk_mtx); /* Send command to the drive. */ [ . . . ] } .Ed .Pp The routine .Fn disk_unbusy performs some consistency checks, such as ensuring that the calls to .Fn disk_busy and .Fn disk_unbusy are balanced. It also performs the final steps of the metrics calcuation. A byte count is added to the disk's running total, and if greater than zero, the number of transfers the disk has performed is incremented. The third argument .Ar read specifies the direction of I/O; if non-zero it means reading from the disk, otherwise it means writing to the disk. .Bd -literal void foodone(xfer) struct foo_xfer *xfer; { struct foo_softc = (struct foo_softc *)xfer->xf_softc; struct buf *bp = xfer->xf_buf; long nbytes; [ . . . ] /* * Get number of bytes transferred. If there is no buf * associated with the xfer, we are being called at the * end of a non-I/O command. */ if (bp == NULL) nbytes = 0; else nbytes = bp->b_bcount - bp->b_resid; [ . . . ] mutex_enter(&sc->sc_dk_mtx); /* Notify the disk framework that we've completed the transfer. */ disk_unbusy(&sc->sc_dk, nbytes, bp != NULL ? bp->b_flags & B_READ : 0); mutex_exit(&sc->sc_dk_mtx); [ . . . ] } .Ed .Pp .Fn disk_isbusy is used to get status of disk device it returns true if device is currently busy and false if it is not. Like .Fn disk_wait , .Fn disk_busy and .Fn disk_unbusy it requires explicit locking from user side. .Sh CODE REFERENCES The disk framework itself is implemented within the file .Pa sys/kern/subr_disk.c .
