50.In buf.h
51.Ft void
52.Fn bufq_alloc "struct bufq_state *bufq" "int flags"
53.Ft void
54.Fn bufq_free "struct bufq_state *bufq"

61.Sh DESCRIPTION
62The
63.Nm
64subsystem is a set of operations for the management of device buffer queues.
65.Pp
66The primary data type for using the operations is the
67.Em bufq_state
68structure in
69.Pa buf.h :
70.Bd -literal
71struct bufq_state {
72	void (*bq_put)(struct bufq_state *, struct buf *);
73	struct buf *(*bq_get)(struct bufq_state *, int);
74	void *bq_private;
75	int bq_flags;		/* Flags from bufq_alloc() */
76};
77.Ed
78.Pp
79Valid values for the
80.Em flags
81argument are:
82.Pp
83.Bl -tag -offset indent -width BUFQ_SORT_RAWBLOCK -compact
84.It Dv BUFQ_SORT_RAWBLOCK
85sort by
86.Em b_rawblkno
87.It Dv BUFQ_SORT_CYLINDER
88sort by
89.Em b_cylinder
90and then by
91.Em b_rawblkno
92.It Dv BUFQ_FCFS
93queue strategy is first-come first-serve
94.It Dv BUFQ_DISKSORT
95queue strategy is min seek sort
96.It Dv BUFQ_READ_PRIO
97queue strategy is min seek sort for writes and first-come first-serve
98for reads with read priority
99.El
100.Sh FUNCTIONS
101.Bl -tag -width compact
102.It Fn bufq_alloc "bufq" "flags"
103Initialize a
104.Em bufq_state
105descriptor.
106The argument
107.Fa flags
108controls the strategy and sort order.
109.It Fn bufq_free "bufq"
110Destroy a
111.Em bufq_state
112descriptor.
113.It Fn BUFQ_PUT "bufq" "bp"
114Put the buf
115.Fa bp
116in the queue.
117.It Fn BUFQ_GET "bufq"
118Get the next buf from the queue and remove it from the queue.
119Returns
120.Dv NULL
121if the queue is empty.
122.It Fn BUFQ_PEEK "bufq"
123Get the next buf from the queue without removal.
124The next buf will remain the same until
125.Fn BUFQ_GET
126is called.
127Returns
128.Dv NULL
129if the queue is empty.
