结构体buffer_head原理
struct buffer_head {
unsigned long b_state; /* buffer state bitmap (see above) */
struct buffer_head *b_this_page;/* circular list of page's buffers */
struct page *b_page; /* the page this bh is mapped to */
sector_t b_blocknr; /* start block number */
size_t b_size; /* size of mapping */
char *b_data; /* pointer to data within the page */
struct block_device *b_bdev;
bh_end_io_t *b_end_io; /* I/O completion */
void *b_private; /* reserved for b_end_io */
struct list_head b_assoc_buffers; /* associated with another mapping */
struct address_space *b_assoc_map; /* mapping this buffer is
associated with */
atomic_t b_count; /* users using this buffer_head */
spinlock_t b_uptodate_lock; /* Used by the first bh in a page, to
* serialise IO completion of other
* buffers in the page */
};
