BIODONE(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers BIODONE(9F)
biodone - release buffer after buffer I/O transfer and notify blocked
threads
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/buf.h>
void biodone(struct buf *bp);
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
bp
Pointer to a buf(9S) structure.
The biodone() function notifies blocked processes waiting for the I/O
to complete, sets the B_DONE flag in the b_flags field of the buf(9S)
structure, and releases the buffer if the I/O is asynchronous.
biodone() is called by either the driver interrupt or strategy(9E)
routines when a buffer I/O request is complete.
The biodone() function provides the capability to call a completion
routine if bp describes a kernel buffer. The address of the routine
is specified in the b_iodone field of the buf(9S) structure. If such
a routine is specified, biodone() calls it and returns without
performing any other actions. Otherwise, it performs the steps above.
The biodone() function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel
context.
Generally, the first validation test performed by any block device
strategy(9E) routine is a check for an end-of-file (EOF) condition.
The strategy(9E) routine is responsible for determining an EOF
condition when the device is accessed directly. If a read(2) request
is made for one block beyond the limits of the device (line 10), it
will report an EOF condition. Otherwise, if the request is outside
the limits of the device, the routine will report an error condition.
In either case, report the I/O operation as complete (line 27).

Writing Device Drivers
After calling biodone(), bp is no longer available to be referred to
by the driver. If the driver makes any reference to bp after calling
biodone(), a panic may result.
Drivers that use the b_iodone field of the buf(9S) structure to
specify a substitute completion routine should save the value of
b_iodone before changing it, and then restore the old value before
calling biodone() to release the buffer.

NAME
biodone - release buffer after buffer I/O transfer and notify blocked
threads
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/buf.h>
void biodone(struct buf *bp);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
PARAMETERS
bp
Pointer to a buf(9S) structure.
DESCRIPTION
The biodone() function notifies blocked processes waiting for the I/O
to complete, sets the B_DONE flag in the b_flags field of the buf(9S)
structure, and releases the buffer if the I/O is asynchronous.
biodone() is called by either the driver interrupt or strategy(9E)
routines when a buffer I/O request is complete.
The biodone() function provides the capability to call a completion
routine if bp describes a kernel buffer. The address of the routine
is specified in the b_iodone field of the buf(9S) structure. If such
a routine is specified, biodone() calls it and returns without
performing any other actions. Otherwise, it performs the steps above.
CONTEXT
The biodone() function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel
context.

will report an EOF condition. Otherwise, if the request is outside
the limits of the device, the routine will report an error condition.

WARNINGS
After calling biodone(), bp is no longer available to be referred to
by the driver. If the driver makes any reference to bp after calling
biodone(), a panic may result.
NOTES
Drivers that use the b_iodone field of the buf(9S) structure to
specify a substitute completion routine should save the value of
b_iodone before changing it, and then restore the old value before
calling biodone() to release the buffer.
