Short explanation of request members
|
|

|
Classification flags:
|
|
|
|
D driver member
|
|
B block layer member
|
|
I I/O scheduler member
|
|
|
|
Unless an entry contains a D classification, a device driver must not access
|
|
this member. Some members may contain D classifications, but should only be
|
|
access through certain macros or functions (eg ->flags).
