.Sh DESCRIPTION
The bufq API implements queueing and scheduling of I/O operations on disk
devices.
It provides multiple scheduling algorithms within the API.
.Pp
It is the responsibility of the disk device driver to provide
pre-allocated bufq structures.
.Pp
.Fn bufq_init
initialises the
.Fa bufq
structure and allocates any state required by the scheduling algorithm
by the
.Fa type
argument.
.Pp
.Fn bufq_switch
can be used to change the scheduler currently used by
.Fa bufq
to the algorithm specified by
.Fa type .
.Pp
The
.Fa type
argument to
.Fn bufq_init
and
.Fn bufq_switch
can be one of the following scheduling algorithms:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width BUFQ_DEFAULT -compact
.It Dv BUFQ_FIFO
A simple First-In First-Out queue.
.It Dv BUFQ_NSCAN
Takes batches of "N" bufs from the queue and sorts them for optimal
head movement.
.It Dv BUFQ_DEFAULT
This currently aliases
.Dv BUFQ_NSCAN .
.El
.Pp
.Fn bufq_destroy
frees any state that was used by the scheduler.
.Pp
.Fn bufq_queue
is used to add the buf specified by
.Fa bp
to the
.Fa bufq
queue.
.Pp
.Fn bufq_dequeue
is used to get the next buf the
.Fa bufq
has scheduled to be serviced by a disk.
The buf will be removed from the queue.
.Pp
.Fn bufq_requeue
can be used to return a previously dequeued buf specified by
.Fa bp
to the head of the queue of
.Fa bufq .
.Pp
.Fn bufq_peek
allows the caller to determine if there are more bufs queued on
.Fa bufq
without modifying the list of bufs.
.Pp
.Fn bufq_drain
is a convenience function for devices that have detached.
It removes all the bufs currently queued on
.Fa bufq ,
marks them as failed with an
.Er ENXIO
error, and returns them to the block layer via
.Xr biodone 9 .
.Sh CONTEXT
.Fn bufq_init ,
.Fn bufq_switch ,
and
.Fn bufq_destroy
can be called during autoconf, or from process context.
.Pp
.Nm bufq_queue ,
.Nm bufq_dequeue ,
.Nm bufq_requeue ,
.Nm bufq_peek ,
and
.Nm bufq_drain
can be called during autoconf, from process context, or from interrupt context.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn bufq_init
and
.Fn bufq_switch
will return 0 on success, or an error code as per
.Xr errno 2 .
.Pp
.Fn bufq_dequeue
returns the next buf that is scheduled to be serviced by the disk.
.Dv NULL
is returned if there are no bufs available on the queue.
.Pp
.Fn bufq_peek
returns 1 if there are bufs available to be scheduled on the disk, otherwise 0.

.Sh HISTORY
The bufq API was written by
.An Thordur I. Bjornsson
and
.An David Gwynne Aq Mt dlg@openbsd.org .
The bufq API first appeared in
.Ox 4.8
and finally succeeded in fully replacing disksort in
.Ox 5.5 .
