- /*
- * Each buffer in the pool is usually doubly linked into 2 lists:
- * the device with which it is currently associated (always)
- * and also on a list of blocks available for allocation
- * for other use (usually).
- * The latter list is kept in last-used order, and the two
- * lists are doubly linked to make it easy to remove
- * a buffer from one list when it was found by
- * looking through the other.
- * A buffer is on the available list, and is liable
- * to be reassigned to another disk block, if and only
- * if it is not marked BUSY. When a buffer is busy, the
- * available-list pointers can be used for other purposes.
- * Most drivers use the forward ptr as a link in their I/O
- * active queue.
- * A buffer header contains all the information required
- * to perform I/O.
- * Most of the routines which manipulate these things
- * are in bio.c.
