// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 //! This module provides types for implementing block drivers that interface the//! blk-mq subsystem.//!//! To implement a block device driver, a Rust module must do the following://!//! - Implement [`Operations`] for a type `T`.//! - Create a [`TagSet<T>`].//! - Create a [`GenDisk<T>`], via the [`GenDiskBuilder`].//! - Add the disk to the system by calling [`GenDiskBuilder::build`] passing in//!   the `TagSet` reference.//!//! The types available in this module that have direct C counterparts are://!//! - The [`TagSet`] type that abstracts the C type `struct tag_set`.//! - The [`GenDisk`] type that abstracts the C type `struct gendisk`.//! - The [`Request`] type that abstracts the C type `struct request`.//!//! The kernel will interface with the block device driver by calling the method//! implementations of the `Operations` trait.//!//! IO requests are passed to the driver as [`kernel::sync::aref::ARef<Request>`]//! instances. The `Request` type is a wrapper around the C `struct request`.//! The driver must mark end of processing by calling one of the//! `Request::end`, methods. Failure to do so can lead to deadlock or timeout//! errors. Please note that the C function `blk_mq_start_request` is implicitly//! called when the request is queued with the driver.//!//! The `TagSet` is responsible for creating and maintaining a mapping between//! `Request`s and integer ids as well as carrying a pointer to the vtable//! generated by `Operations`. This mapping is useful for associating//! completions from hardware with the correct `Request` instance. The `TagSet`//! determines the maximum queue depth by setting the number of `Request`//! instances available to the driver, and it determines the number of queues to//! instantiate for the driver. If possible, a driver should allocate one queue//! per core, to keep queue data local to a core.//!//! One `TagSet` instance can be shared between multiple `GenDisk` instances.//! This can be useful when implementing drivers where one piece of hardware//! with one set of IO resources are represented to the user as multiple disks.//!//! One significant difference between block device drivers implemented with//! these Rust abstractions and drivers implemented in C, is that the Rust//! drivers have to own a reference count on the `Request` type when the IO is//! in flight. This is to ensure that the C `struct request` instances backing//! the Rust `Request` instances are live while the Rust driver holds a//! reference to the `Request`. In addition, the conversion of an integer tag to//! a `Request` via the `TagSet` would not be sound without this bookkeeping.//!//! [`GenDisk`]: gen_disk::GenDisk//!
